The Lakes district in Cumbria is an absolute delight. Our resort (exchange with Trendwest, Australia) is just a hop, skip and jump away from Peter Rabbit's home at Hilltop farm in Hawkshead, Windermere. We have explored the home and hang-out's of Miss Potter and friends, gazed in wonder at the breat-taking beauty of the Lakes District, driven over end-less miles of narrow country lanes, with their miles of stone walls.
A special day was when we found Levens Village and nearby Levens Hall, built in the 1500's and now the world's most famous topiary garden. When we get our own internet connection again (next week in Malta) we will post some photos.
The weather has been terrific - mid 20's and warm right through the night also. Today we are in Kendall, having a quiet day, relaxing before a big day in the car tomorrow when we go through to Stirling in Scotland where we will overnight in a motel and cruise back Thursday.
We are enjoying England VERY much and each country has had an aspect to enjoy, but here we feel it is special for it's beauty, history and kinship.
