London, Dec 14 (IANS): Singers Harry Styles and Taylor Swift enjoyed a romantic mini break in England ahead of Swift's 23rd birthday Thursday.

They had a quiet getaway in England's picturesque Lake District and a day out in Bowness-on-Windermere Wednesday, where they shopped for Christmas presents together for their families.

"I was hyperventilating, I just never expected to see them. She introduced herself, she was really lovely," contactmusic.com quoted an eyewitness as saying.

She said they were just here for the day and I think they were there with his parents. Taylor said they were leaving soon.

"Taylor had a lot of bags from Beatrix Potter world - I saw some cuddly toys poking out of the top of the bag. They'd done a lot of shopping. Taylor said she loved the area and said it was really pretty," added the eyewitness.

The One Direction singer was spotted introducing his Swift to his sister Gemma Monday and couldn't keep their hands of each other.
