Horse riding, hotel laundry cupboards and sailing boats aren't places that immediately spring to mind when thinking of a spot to settle down and read.
But that is exactly what one group of schoolchildren looked for on World Book Day last week.
Pupils at Windermere School were tasked with taking a photo of themselves reading in a place not usually associated with the quiet pastime.

The imaginative entries also included riding a bouncy toy in the park, and was won by Tom Johnson and Felix Stewart who were snapped reading in their boats.
Mrs Thomas, head of the Elleray Campus, said: “Our English curriculum includes a rich and varied selection of books which allowed the children to really embrace this year's World Book Day.
“The effort that has gone into both the outfits and the photo competition shows just how motivated our children are by the books around them.”
As well as the photo challenge, pupils were asked to read stories from different cultures around the world.
The result was a representation from almost every continent across the globe in a “real celebration of internationalism.”
Inspiration was taken from literary works worldwide including Mexico, South Africa and Japan.
The story of Adelita, a Mexican Cinderella story, was one girl's choice of reading, while another took inspiration from the Wolf Princess and her adventures in Russia.
The school's assembly saw Russian princesses, Aladdin and various African animals in attendance.
Erica Ferreira, head of English at Elleray, said: “Being a member of the Round Square Group of Schools, we are always keen to embrace the six Round Square pillars: internationalism, democracy, environment, adventure, leadership and service.
“Our World Book Day theme was chosen with this in mind and allowed our international students from the senior school to spend time with our primary age pupils, sharing stories from their own countries and answering questions about different cultures and experiences.”
The event was one of a number taking place at schools across the region last Thursday for the 20th anniversary of World Book Day.
Some, including Dowdales School in Dalton and South Walney Infant School, ran treasure hunts in local libraries, while others had themed days for children.
Children were also given book tokens to further encourage reading.
