Lakes District
... after and we took a drive to Windermere for more photos and a quick walk. Everything combined to create some great scenery, the setting sun making golden the high fields, and the leave-less woods and trees. Roads and fields in the area, as well as many streams and paths were bordered by chest high stone walls that wandered as high as the snow line. Came back to see Wordsworth's grave at Grasmere's St Oswolds. Then went to buy some food from the supermarket for ...

Saw the new James Bond at the local ...

All in all a great day and everyone enjoyed themselves. We could have stayed another 4 hrs, but a quick bite to eat and off we went. On to ...
One last spin in the lakes
We packed up and cleaned the cottage for the next lucky visitors. Once the cars were full, we followed Nick and Barbara to Coniston.
