We look forward to meet again very, very good friends in Windermere/Bowness. Our "invasion" will be absolutely peaceful ;-) - for ever!

Totally inapproriate byline by the Gazette. They could have come up with something more in keeping with the Twinning ethos.

As a founder of the twinning, I am very pleased to see the 10-Year Celebrations mentioned in the Gazette - but do come along and see for yourself how inappropriate this sort of headline is.
