    Hi everyone, I'm Konrad, originally from the Netherlands but have been living in the beautiful Lake District for the last 15 years or so. I started a digital marketing agency not long after arriving - www.sparkdigital.uk which I sold a few years ago to focus on my own website www.romanticretreats.co.uk which I run as a one man band so I end up doing a bit of everything on it.

    I've always had a soft spot for domains, mostly for that next great project that I will develop, but unfortunately there are only so many hours in the day so most end up being shelved, at least for now...

    With the .uk's coming available I couldn't help myself and registered a number of them, some for myself (more great projects! :rolleyes:) and some to market.

    Looking to spend some more time on the forum to learn the ropes of the domain trade, especially how to put a value on a domain etc.

    Thanks,
    Konrad

    Hi Konrad,

    Welcome to the forum! I too live in the Lake District (South Lakes), what a great choice of place to move to :)

    Hope you have fun.

    It's a small world! I used to live in Kendal, now just down the road in Levens :) love it here (apart from the weather but it's been pretty good recently!)

    Ah Cumbrian weather, sunny one minute, torrential rain and fog the next! I'm living in Barrow, I suppose you could class that as the outskirts but I spend a lot of time in the Lakes with my dog and my camera :) my Dad lives in Kendal! Lovely place, traffic system these days is a bit of a nightmare though lol.

    I have cumbria.uk on auction at the moment, if I can tempt you into a bid lol https://ukbackorder.com/cumbria.uk/auction.html

    Ah the Costa del Barrow, the envy of all Kendalians when it comes to sunshine ;)

    Thanks for the offer on Cumbria.uk, spent way to much on domains already so will pass for now :D

    Welcome on board :)

    I just spent the last week trekking around the Lake District... Buttermere, Rydal, Rayrigg, Up old man of Coniston, Windermere, Ullswater, and Ennerdale Water.

    Was blown away by the place. Lucked out hard with the weather, but really couldn't believe that this is the same England... considering most of my time is spent in London...

    Hi Domaintial, thanks for the welcome :)

    Wow you picked a great week! I had the same reaction when I first visited from Holland - blown away! Especially on a nice day I can't think of a better place to be.

    How do, Konrad. Nice to meet you :)

    I've got a soft spot for the Lake District and I made many a happy memory camping near Rydal Water in my youth. I walked up Scafell Pike the wrong way a couple of years ago, which is also a happy memory, because I didn't die.
