Infographic: The Hideaway at Windermere: Love in the Lake District this Leap Year
Love is in the Lake District air this February, and this year we're very excited at the prospect of a Leap Year on Monday 29th - the one day in four years where a woman can traditionally propose to her partner!
This tradition dates back to the 5th century in Ireland and is still carried out and celebrated 16 centuries later. Of course, in this day and age, couples are welcomed to propose whatever gender they may please, on whatever day of the year they wish - but we think there's something very special about this old Celtic celebration of love and partnership.
We've put together this infographic to inform, educate, and perhaps inspire you to drop the question this Leap Year 2016! If you have been convinced, be sure to get in touch with Lisa and Richard, the couple who run The Hideaway at Windermere, and let them know about your love story.
