7. National 5 Glaciation “We are childhood sweethearts and we are 21 years old. We were born in the village and we have been a couple since we were 14. We want to get married next year and settle down in the Lake District. We cannot afford to buy a house because rich people from the cities have bought holiday homes here. Now the houses are too expensive for local people like us to buy. If we want to buy our own house we will have to move to a town 40 miles away.”

8. National 5 Glaciation “I am an old lady. I am 75 years old and I have lived in a small village in the Lake District all of my life. I was born in the hospital down the road and my children went to the local school. I wish that I could go out of my house and visit the local shop without having to push through crowds of tourists. I find it difficult to cross the road sometimes because of all the tourists in their cars. I stay in my house a lot.”
