The UN children's fund has warned that complacency and misinformation were driving the resurgence of measles among richer nations. There, his son apparently spread measles around two schools whose students are bused by the same company.
What is the MMR vaccine? Most do not experience any side effects from the shot. The first dose of the measles vaccination is typically given between 12 and 15 months of age.
Within wealthy nations, this specific rise is generally credited to an increase with skepticism in the direction of vaccinations generally and particularly MMR, that deals with measles, mumps, and even rubella.
Bilodeau said none of his three children were vaccinated, due to autism concerns.
Bilodeau claims he took one of his sons to the British Colombia Children's Hospital in January when he started showing measles-like symptoms.
Nevertheless, apart from vaccination, the HA must also prepare sufficient resources and support, as well as formulate a set of comprehensive quarantine measures and an alerting mechanism to make sure it can respond quickly and decisively in case of a full-scale measles outbreak in the city. I encourage adults to talk with their health care providers about getting the MMR if they are unsure of their immunity status.
Measles cases more than tripled across Europe in 2018, according to the World Health Organization, with notable outbreaks in Romania, Italy and France. It doesn't guarantee that they won't get the disease, however it can lessen the severity if they do.

The Royal Canadian Legion's first digital fundraising campaign aims to capture younger audiences in an increasingly cashless society.
For the first time in its history, the Royal Canadian Legion is taking a digital approach to its annual Remembrance Day Poppy fundraising campaign.
Complementing the traditional lapel poppy campaign, a new "digital poppy" has been created and will be available online from Oct. 26 through to Nov. 11.
The digital approach opens up new opportunities for Canadians to engage with the annual campaign: supporters will be able to personalize their poppy by adding their own family stories and images, to dedicate it to someone and to share it online in remembrance of those who have served. Once donors have downloaded their poppy, they can post it on their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram feeds, or use it as their profile images on the platforms.
The shift to digital comes as traditional "on-street" fundraising campaigns face a number of challenges, according to Basno Canada, the digital platform managing the online campaign. Among them: trying to grow and maintain a mostly volunteer-based sales team and dealing with the realities of an increasingly cashless supporter base.
"The impacts are combining to negatively affect both total sales and per unit donations," said Robin Lecky and Kevin Albrecht, partners at Basno Canada, in a joint email to strategy.
By going digital, the organization hopes to generate new sources of long-term funds in support of the Legion's programs and services for veterans, while exposing the poppy and its history to younger audiences who may not have grown up with first- or even second-generation family connections to World War I and II, say the partners at Basno.
DDB Canada led on creative development and the social execution, with the support of Critical Mass on the website design. DDB Public Relations is handling PR, media relations and influencer activities.
In support of the launch, a number of Canadian personalities and organizations with a combined 200 million-plus social media following, including artist Justin Bieber, author Margaret Atwood, Hockey Night in Canada's Don Cherry and Ron MacLean, will be sharing their stories and poppies online. Moreover, the campaign is receiving support from the National Hockey League Players' Association, the Teamsters Union of Canada and Ancestry.ca, which are contributing donated media.
As the campaign's official sponsor, Telus will be promoting the effort with its customers and its own team of influencers, with the goal of driving greater awareness and, ultimately, more donations.
The funds raised through the traditional and digital poppy campaigns will be directed to the Legion's Poppy Fund, which supports Canadian veterans, current Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP members, as well as their families.

Since 1997, I've focused mainly on internal or "enterprise" communication. I currently work with VimpelCom, a leading global mobile operator, and have also worked with Maersk, Shell, easyJet, Omnicom (Smythe Dorward Lambert and Omnicom Europe), Barclays, Reuters, Cable & Wireless, Cargill and the US Department of Transportation. Along with my distinctive approach to Social Communication, I've developed strengths in Merger and Acquisitions, IT change communication, research and feedback, understanding organizational networks and tribes, and in auditing communication activities and behaviors.

Prior to 1997, I was a political organizer, manager and strategist. I consulted to statewide campaigns in Alabama, worked with the Riverboat Casino Association in Louisiana, organized convention campaigns in major membership associations, crafted public affairs and online grassroots lobbying campaigns for a major national Jewish organization and designed and published direct mail for state legislators in Baltimore. These political experiences inform my corporate communications activities greatly–as people who vote tend also to be people who work-the same people with the same hopes, fears and prejudices.
I also enjoy European Travel, Belgian Beer, German Techno and Turkish cuisine.
I am highly impressed by your latest post on the stockholm accords. Behind the jargon and the polemics which it has raised..you are not (fortunately for me!) the only one, but you certainly captured more than anyone else its essence. Would like to correspond. Possible?

One of Hillary Rodham Clinton's pantsuits is on display at a museum in Arkansas.
Posed near a red, cashmere outfit Laura Bush wore in 2008 and a beige ensemble Nancy Reagan donned a decade earlier, the teal, silk pantsuit almost doesn't need a marker to identify the former first lady who sported it.
On Monday, the pantsuit's designer, Oscar de la Renta, met with the self-professed pantsuit aficionado and her husband in Little Rock, where they celebrated some of de la Renta's work on display at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center.
The temporary exhibit, "Oscar de la Renta: American Icon," runs through Dec. 1. It showcases outfits worn by first ladies and Hollywood stars, from the former secretary of state to actress Anne Hathaway.

Weekend of Violence Kicks Off as Rioters Assault Pro-Lifers, Explosion Booms Behind Police Line
By C. Douglas Golden June 25, 2022 at 7:24am
It didn't take long for the crowd that demands women have the right to kill their unborn children to begin violence against those living outside the womb once Roe v. Wade was overturned.
In the wake of Friday's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health — which struck down the left's invented right to an abortion — violent protests broke out in various corners of the country, many caught on video and posted to social media.
The chaotic protests were the culmination of decades of the left's radical rhetoric boiling over — and were a bleak augury for what may happen in the days and weeks to come.
(Here at The Western Journal, we've documented how the left's rhetoric has ratcheted up the temperature on the abortion issue, threatening Americans that there would be blood if the Supreme Court doesn't continue to act as a rubber-stamp legislature for the left's agenda. We'll keep bringing America the truth about who's responsible for this divisiveness when the mainstream media won't. You can help by subscribing.)
According to The Daily Wire, protests were seen in cities like Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington.
"Some protests became heated as a fight reportedly broke out at the Rhode Island State House where a counter-protester appeared to be beaten up by one of the protesters while protesters in Phoenix, Arizona, reportedly breached the state's Capitol building," The Daily Wire reported.
"There was also video of a truck driving through a group of protesters trying to stop the vehicle in Iowa."
In Seattle, video posted by independent journalist Andy Ngô showed what he identified as antifa members harassing and attacking pro-life protesters.
WARNING: The following videos contain graphic language and violence that some viewers will find offensive.

After the pepper spray malfunctioned, Ngô reported that the young woman was assaulted by members of the antifa group.

Meanwhile, video out of Los Angeles showed rioters throwing fireworks at police. "Chicanx" activist journalist Josh Pacheco thought this was a good thing, posting an emoji of fireworks along with the footage of the explosion behind police lines.

It isn't as if we haven't been primed for this, however — first by years of rhetoric about what the left would do if Roe were overturned, then after the unprecedented leak of the draft opinion in the case on May 2.
The unprecedented leak of that draft opinion alone was a sign of how ugly it would get.
One radical pro-abortion group, Ruth Sent Us, published a list of the addresses of Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices and urged individuals to protest outside them. Several weeks later, a California man was arrested and charged with attempted murder near the house of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, having allegedly conspired to assassinate him.
Another radical pro-abortion group, Jane's Revenge, has claimed responsibility for several fire-bombings of pro-life pregnancy crisis centers. Last week, according to the New York Post, the group published a letter declaring "open season" on the centers.
Should law enforcement do more to crack down on violent protesters?

"We were unsurprised to see thirty days come and thirty days pass with no sign of consilience or even bare-minimum self-reflection from you," the June 14 letter read. "History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes, and we've already seen such stanzas where medical autonomy is stripped away, humanity is increasingly criminalized, and merely surviving becomes largely untenable."
To the extent heads or tails could be made of turgid, confused language of the letter, it was this: Take away the invented constitutional right to kill babies and we'll kill you, instead.
No one may be dead yet, but this strategy certainly seems to be off to a ringing start.

For a whole year the camera accompanies the sculptor Not Vital, both at work and in his private moments. As an artist he is seeking to discover his own identity, the animal in man, and the lure of far-away places. In the course of a journey from Tuscany, through the Engadine and on to New York the portrait that emerges is one that is rich in detail, entertaining, with plenty of humour and no lack of irony.


Hi friends, I have not forgotten about you. I told you I would do another post on hormones. There are hormones that can prevent weight loss and there are hormones that can help promote weight loss. I am not recommending you take supplements for your weight loss. Diet and exercise help to keep hormones stable….

Another gloomy day, dry but poor visibility. I came across this large sandstone boulder on Ingleby Moor pitted with small holes, particularly on the north-east face. Stone Age rock art? Or a gamekeeper taking pot shots? Google comes up with a clue. There is an assumption among the rock climbing fraternity that they're bullet holes. The Modern Antiquarian also comes to the same conclusion after talking with the local keeper. Apparently, the military did use the stones for target practice during the Second World War. I wondered where the shooter would have been standing. The next high ground north-east of the boulder is about 1,000 metres away. The effective range of the standard WW2 rifle, the Lee Enfield, is 500-600m although a bullet could travel much further, losing accuracy and momentum. So I guess it's feasible. I also wondered what happened to the bullets bouncing off. I scraped the surface of the peat but didn't find anything, maybe I need a metal detector.

WHY WE MUST CONTROL SOCIAL MEDIA — PRESIDENCY
By Archibong Emediong 1 month ago December 10, 2019 in Events
The Senior Special Assistant to the President, Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, has said the social media can't be left to operate without control.
A State House statement on Monday said Shehu spoke at the Kawararafa Media Award in Abuja on Sunday night.
He said, "The entire Kasuwan Magani saga that resulted in the death of more than 50 people was because someone posted misleading information on WhatsApp that went viral.
"All countries in the world are trying to make laws to check the excesses. Many countries are trying to control the situation. The Europeans have placed a new law that holds the companies responsible.
"In United Kingdom, the parliament has received a report on social media. There is youth addiction to it, just like cigarettes. Without any form of control, it has done harm to women, ethnic minorities, individuals, institutions and countries,'' the statement by the Deputy Director, Information, Mr Atta Essa, quoted Shehu as saying.
He said that to demonstrate that the government was not against free speech, the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, had repeatedly called for a meeting of stakeholders to agree on modalities for regulating the social media.
"The Federal Government is saying that stakeholders should come together and agree on regulation. We know that no matter how bad the situation is, it favours someone.
"Some have argued that our Constitution already has laws on libel, but the laws of the 60s never anticipated social media.
"No government has the right to muzzle freedom of speech. We don't support the taking of lives as punishment. People insult others and share false information on social media. I hope that hate speech will be tackled so that Nigeria will be a sane place to live in,'' he added.
He said the global trend required that a journalist should undergo training and licensing before reporting, adding that in the case of the social media, "with a phone, a tablet or laptop, anyone can reach millions, sometimes for good and other times with ulterior motives.''

Home 360 Biden's child-care plan might make things harder for family caregivers
Biden's child-care plan might make things harder for family caregivers
Rebecca Gale, Special To The Washington Post
Download Story
Zonia Sanchez begins work at 6 a.m. and remains on the clock until 5 p.m., taking care of her four grandchildren, ages 2 months, 3, 5 and 11 years. She logs her hours into a notebook, and submits the total each month to the Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) in Palmdale, Calif., where she lives. She's paid different hourly rates for each child – $3.61 per hour for the 3-year-old, $3.34 for the 5-year-old, and $2.63 for the 11-year-old. She doesn't yet receive any payment for the baby because his paperwork hasn't been processed through the system yet.
"These are my grandkids and my daughter has to work," Sanchez says. (She primarily speaks Spanish, and her interview was conducted through a translator.) "If it wasn't for me, who would take care of my baby for no pay?"
Sanchez, 59, is one of an estimated 5 million Family, Friend, and Neighbor (or FFN) child-care providers in the United States. In more than 40 states, including California, the work she does is eligible for payment, even though she doesn't have a child-care license.
If the Biden administration's Build Back Better plan becomes law, the costs associated with child care could change dramatically. Many more subsidies will be available to many more families, and those subsidies will give providers – many of whom make poverty wages – more money. But there's a caveat: Under BBB, all providers are required to be licensed, including FFN providers who have traditionally not needed a license to perform care. With the United States on the brink of a historic investment in child care, what role will FFN providers play in our future system?
Family, Friend and Neighbor Care (also referred to as informal care, kith-and-kin care, kin care, relative care, legally unlicensed, and license-exempt care) is the most common form of nonparental care in the United States, with estimates of the proportion of working parents using this care ranging from one third to over one half. It is most heavily relied upon for low-income families, families of color, and those with nontraditional work schedules. During the covid-19 pandemic, many families came to rely primarily on FFN providers as other child-care settings closed or limited their enrollment.
Currently, only a small fraction of families that qualify for child care subsidies actually receive them — and the vast majority of children receiving subsidies (75%) typically attend licensed child-care centers. Only 2% of the children receiving CCDF subsidies utilize FFN caregivers like Sanchez in the child's own home."
Julia Gutierrez-Albrecht is a family services coordinator for Head Start, a federal government program that provides early education to low-income families in Sanilac County, Mich. A rural county in the thumb of the state, Sanilac is home to 3,000 kids under the age of 5, with only 500 licensed pre-K spots available – qualifying the area as a "child-care desert." The sheer lack of supply across the country leaves families like Gutierrez-Albrecht's to rely on licensed-exempt options for child care. Her 85-year-old grandfather brings a flashlight on dark mornings when he comes to her house to help get her 4- and 7-year-old off to school. Some days her aunt, a retired schoolteacher, takes the kids to school.
"I hear so many times from the families I work with, and they have no one," Gutierrez-Albrecht said. "It made me think of how lucky I am. I would not be able to do what I do without them."
Despite the popularity of FFN care, providers fortunate enough to be paid through state subsidies make significantly less money than if they were doing the same work as licensed providers. And even licensed home-based providers often receive lower subsidy reimbursement rates than center-based providers.
Sanchez's monthly payment is around $1,100 a month, which is not much for 45-hour workweeks, even in a notoriously low-wage industry like child care. Five years ago, Sanchez looked into applying for a child-care license, but found the process onerous and balked at the costly modifications needed inside her home to qualify, such as adding gates, changing the carpet and floors, and having everyone in the household fingerprinted.
Requirements like these make sense for large centers where parents need assurances that their children will be safe in the company of strangers, but families who rely on FFN often use a different calculus: this may be an individual they trust, or someone they feel is part of their community, where there is a shared language, cultural or values connection.
In many cases, FFN care gives working parents flexibility in their schedules that traditional child-care centers (with their fixed hours and sometimes rigid minimum attendance requirements) cannot provide, regardless of the family's mixed needs. It also allows children from one family in a range of ages, like Sanchez's four grandchildren, to spend more of their day together, rather than separating kids by age.
The details of what licensing will entail moving forward are not spelled out in Build Back Better; it will be up to the states and the Department of Health and Human Services to come up with what the parameters will look like and how FFN providers would be included.
"People who know what licensing looks like today are assuming it will look the same way tomorrow, but it's not a fair assumption," said Julie Kashen, a child-care expert with the Century Foundation, a think tank. Kashen suggests that while the states must determine licensing standards to establish baseline quality standards, they should not be overly burdensome and could be anything from taking a CPR class to signing up for an FFN list online, and that it will be designed with feedback from the groups most affected, including FFN providers themselves.
An influx of resources to the child-care system has the potential to alter the entire child-care landscape for the better, explains Patricia Cole, senior director of federal policy for Zero to Three, a nonprofit focused on early child development.
"It will allow for better training, support and reimbursement, which will in turn benefit all types of child care – FFN included," Cole said. "We would not have supported licensing if we did not believe the resources would be there to support the investments in the workforce. And we know this workforce is critical. The relationships they form with their caregivers are so important."
It will be up to states to be inclusive regarding who is at the table in determining licensing requirements and quality tiers, and to bring FFN providers into the fold to map out what our future child care system will look like. "You can't separate the two," said Cole. "The goal is to be inclusive, and the goal is also to make sure the resources are there and clear pathways to go along with it."

A last-minute town-hall-style event, announced Wednesday by CNN and scheduled to take place just one week before the Iowa caucuses, could be a saving grace for Hillary Clinton, whose presidential campaign has faced an unexpectedly formidable challenge from Democratic rival Bernie Sanders.
The prime-time gathering will air Monday at nine P.M., a huge change from the three debates that the Democratic National Committee scheduled on inconvenient weekend nights.
Clearly there was some coordination with DWS going on here because she's got an easy out built into the formula when reporters come to challenger on the blatant, hypocritical flip flop. This isn't a debate, you see. It's a town hall style event. That will probably come as a disappointment to Sanders in particular since the candidates won't be able to answer, challenge or attack each other directly. But all three will get a turn with the moderator in front of what could potentially be a sizable audience.
This seems like something of a desperation move on the part of the Clinton campaign because they run the risk of a moderator asking uncomfortable questions about the new Benghazi movie or the FBI circling like hawks over the remains of her bathroom based email server brimming with Beyond Top Secret documents. So why do it? Moe Lane at RedState smells panic in the air.
That was some Must See TV, and if they drag Tapper in for this town hall on Monday we may see more of the same. Get out the popcorn, folks. This may prove to be entertaining.

Famous Luxury Sports Watches with Integrated Bracelets: Royal Oak
It's hard to believe now, but prior to the 1970s, the concept of the luxury sports watch didn't exist. Rather, fine timepieces were typically restrained gold numbers on leather straps or steel tool watches such as diving watches. This all changed in 1972 with the debut of the Gerald Genta designed Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. With its octagonal bezel, steel construction, and integrated bracelet, not only did the Royal Oak go on to become globally famous, it also laid the foundation for the now-booming luxury sports watch category. Along with Royal Oak, let's take a look at some famous luxury sports watches with integrated bracelets.
When Audemars Piguet unveiled the inaugural Royal Oak in 1972, its design was indeed revolutionary to the luxury watch space. While it only offered time and date functionality, the Royal Oak stood out for its aggressive and unique design. According to Gerald Genta himself, the inspiration for the octagonal bezel with eight hexagonal screws was an old-style diving helmet. Along with the distinct case, another key design element of the Royal Oak is its integrated bracelet. The famous Royal Oak bracelet may seem simple at the outset but is in actuality, very complex to manufacture.
Over the next 45 years, Audemars Piguet has added a wide assortment of Royal Oak models in different materials and sizes in addition to a variety of complications. Take for example this 18k yellow gold Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. Not only does it boast solid 18k yellow gold construction, it's also equipped with the super practical perpetual calendar function. Able to correctly indicate the time, day, date, month, and moonphase almost in perpetuity–until the year 2100 when the leap year will be ignored–a perpetual calendar complication is one of the most difficult and sought-after watch functions in luxury watches.
A few years after the release of the AP Royal Oak, Patek Philippe followed up with their own luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet–the Nautilus. It was 1976 when Patek Philippe unveiled the Nautilus and it too was designed by Gerald Genta. However, this time, the designer took design cues from a ship's porthole. From the rounded eight-sided bezel down to the hinge on the side of the watch case., the design of the Nautilus is instantly recognizable. Again, just like the RO, the inaugural Patek Nautilus was a full stainless steel version and only included time and date functionality. Furthermore, it also sported the Gerald Genta's signature integrated bracelet.
Famous Luxury Sports Watches with Integrated Bracelets: Nautilus
A key collection in Patek Philippe's lineup, there have been countless versions of the Nautilus since its introduction. For instance, this Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 3800/1J from the early 1990s features a full 18k yellow gold case and integrated bracelet. On the dial, we see the characteristic horizontal grooves playing background to the simple stick hour markers, center hands, and discreet date window.
Vacheron Constantin Overseas
In 1977, Vacheron Constantin released their own version of a luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet with the 222. Rather than Gerald Genta, it was, in fact, his apprentice, Jorg Hysek, who designed the 222. The Vacheron Constantin had a similar aesthetic to the Royal Oak and the Nautilus including an angular case, bold bezel, and integrated bracelet. Yet again, the first 222 was made entirely of stainless steel and with its time and date features, was straightforward in functionality. Vacheron Constantin eventually discontinued the 222 collection in the 1980s. However, the brand brought back their luxury sports watch collection in 1996 and dubbed it the Overseas.
Famous Luxury Sports Watches with Integrated Bracelets: Overseas
As a direct descendant of the 222, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas retained many design traits of its predecessor. These included an angular case, bold bezel, and of course, the integrated bracelet. Looking at this 18k yellow gold Overseas ref. 42042, we see that the shape of the fluted bezel cleverly mimics the ends of the Maltese Cross–Vacheron's logo. The white dial houses matching 18k yellow gold faceted hour markers and center hands, in addition, to a date aperture.
It's interesting to note that the above three brands, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin, make up the "Holy Trinity" of the luxury watch world. Their luxury watches with integrated bracelets were a drastic departure from the traditional timepieces that made these watchmakers famous. However, since the 1970s, not only did these luxury sports watches add another facet to the offerings of their respective brands, but the Royal Oak, Nautilus, and Overseas became icons in their own right.

Extract of sample "Exercise #1"
Download file to see previous pages To humans, in accordance with CDC, the farms practicing intensive rearing expose the workers to adverse health risks (Greger & Koneswaran, 2010). Such workers may develop certain conditions as skeletal or muscular injuries, chronic and acute lung complications, and infections like tuberculosis that are transmitted form animals to people. In addition to that, consumers endure the most of farmer activity when consuming the final product. When the farmers use pesticides to avert losses from pets, the chemicals in these pesticides cause health problems to the consumers of such products.
Large numbers of animals contribute to environmental degradation. Pesticides and fertilizers applied in the growth of animal feeds cause environmental pollution. These effluents pollute water and soil resources (Mitloehner & Schenker, 2007). Manure waste and agrochemicals degrade the air, while large numbers of animals put a strain on the limited energy and water resources. Ethically, factory farming is not a defensible practice.

Members of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club Dallas, Texas chapter pose in Tulsa's Greenwood District on Saturday, May 29, 2021.";
The National Association of Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Club had hundreds of its members ride into Oklahoma to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club members from across the nation drove in Tulsa's Centennial Black Wall Street Heritage Parade on Saturday, dressed head-to-toe in black-and-yellow biker garb.
This includes Rhonda Gafford, a member of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club from Louisiana, who came to Tulsa to help raise awareness of the history of the massacre.
"We just hope that that message is put out on a broader scale, and we just hope that people realize what could have been and what will be going forward," Gafford said.
The group is one of the world's largest predominantly Black motorcycle clubs and honors the history of the 9th and 10th Black Cavalry Regiments, known as "Buffalo Soldiers," that served in the U.S. Army during the post Civil War era.
The club has over 120 chapters, including a Lawton chapter.
KGOU is a community-supported news organization and relies on contributions from readers and listeners to fulfill its mission of public service to Oklahoma and beyond. Donate online, or by contacting our Membership department.

Will wonders never cease? Of all countries, who would have expected Russia to bring the Taliban on to the negotiating table. On November 9, 2018, in what is known as the Moscow Format, Russia hosted representatives from the Taliban's political office, headed by Sher Abbas Stanakzai, members of the Afghan High Peace Council (HPC), as well as representatives from Pakistan, China, Iran, India, and the Central Asian States .
Although members of the Afghan government did not participate, the fact that members of the HPC took part, along with President Ghani's uncle, Abdul Qayoum Kochai, Afghanistan's ambassador to Russia, indicates the tacit approval of Kabul for the interaction. Similarly, the US took part as an observer.

Lake District walks with tearooms….
What could be more relaxing on a visit to the Lake District than a scenic walk followed by lunch or a traditional cream tea in an enchanting tearoom?! Taking the weight off your feet, and enjoying scones, jam and cream within picturesque surroundings - it's our idea of heaven! Here we've chosen some of our favourite walks with tearooms to help you plan your perfect day out...
The Ambleside to Grasmere Coffin Route and The Old School Room Tea Shop, Rydal Hall Rydal Hall provides the perfect stop-and-refresh point on the Ambleside to Grasmere coffin route. As the name hints, this trail follows the path taken by those in days gone by who carried the coffins to St Oswald's Church, and passes by both of Wordsworth's former homes, Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount. If you only want to walk in one direction, no problem - why not catch the bus back to Ambleside when you reach the end of the route?! Whilst at Rydal Hall, you should take time to visit The Grot, a fascinating and little-known viewing station built in 1668 which looks out onto the lower Rydal waterfalls. 015394 32050, rydalhall.org
The western shore of Windermere and the Courtyard in the Café, Claife Station Claife Viewing Station is a relatively new addition to our list of Lake District must-sees, after its restoration was completed by the National Trust last year. The viewing station dates back to the 1790s, and was even used for dances in the 1800s! There's a super little pop-up café in the courtyard below, which means that you can walk from Wray Castle to Claife Station along the western shore of Windermere, and complete the rest of the circuit by boat using the ferry and a Walker's Ticket on Windermere Lake Cruises (starting points include Ambleside, Brockhole and Bowness so see windermere-lakecruises.co.uk for details). nationaltrust.org.uk/claife-viewing-station-and-windermere-west-shore
Aira Force and National Trust Tea Room, Ullswater This atmospheric walk takes you initially through ancient yews and tall conifers, and on to a woodland path leading to the breathtaking Aira Force, a twenty one-metre waterfall that thunders into the pools below. Keep going, and you'll also pass a series of smaller cascades and the lesser known and smaller High force, further upstream - you'll find more route ideas on the National Trust website. The tea room at Aira Force is run by the National Trust, so you know that profits are going straight back into their conservation work in the area. 01768 482067, nationaltrust.org.uk/aira-force-and-ullswater
Coniston lakeshore and the Bluebird and Brantwood Cafés Coniston Water provides infinite walking possibilities, both long and short. A lakeshore walk along the western shore of Coniston has to be one of the most relaxing of Lake District experiences, and when you have walked far enough, you can simply hop on board the Coniston launch at one of the marked jetties (Torver and Sunny Bank), and enjoy afternoon tea at either the Bluebird Café (western shore) or the Brantwood Café, which also welcomes dogs. 01768 775753, conistonlaunch.co.uk
