The Lakes
As many of you know I live in the North-West of England, just over an hour’s drive and I could be in the Lake District, an area of mountains, hills, forest, and of course water. Hardly surprising it is an area that attracts 100,000’s of visitors each year.
My first memory of the Lakes of a week in Keswick, close to Derwent Water and the Keswick Convention. The Keswick Convention started in a small in Keswick in a vicarage garden in 1875, it now has over 12,000 people attending the summer gathering. The purpose of the convention is ‘to hear the Word of God and to sing God’s praises, to be encouraged, inspired and equipped to love and live for Christ in His world.’
