A warm welcome back to Mike Cavanagh, who is a regular contributor to our travel writing contests. He came joint third in this year's Travel Story Competition with his fabulous entry When I'm Eighty Three. If you haven't read it yet, then catch up with it now by following the highlighted link. Then you can enjoy his latest travel highlight entitled No, but I had a bath.
No, but I had a bath
The Lake District in northern England. The owner of the BnB we stayed at had said
“People come here and complain about the rain. Well why do they think it’s called The Lakes?” Katie and I laughed with her.
We stayed a lovely week there and on the morning we were leaving she popped around to say goodbye.
“I see you had a shower overnight?” she said to Katie.
Katie’s frown and tilted head perfectly reflected my confusion. How could she tell?
“No, but I had a bath.” Said Katie.
Three confused people… then much laughter. The Lakes… rain… yep.

Mike Cavanagh is now in his sixties and has no idea how he got here. He lives with his wife, Julie, and two black cats in Bateman’s Bay, NSW. The house he and Julie live in is quirky and in need of regular maintenance, as are its owners. Mike's passions are writing, playing guitar, composing music, and, as Julie will only too readily tell you, playing too many role-playing games on PC.
