I've just been reading an autobiography by Alfie Bow (a British tenor) in which he says some places give you 'sensory overload'. He describes it as 'like you get eating candy as a kid'. I can think of various places that have given me that sensory overload - and the Langdale Valley comes very high on that list.Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-64450943282706723192013-04-24T14:08:31.990-07:002013-04-24T14:08:31.990-07:00So many beautiful places in the world.
