U.K. 3

We have been staying with my Mum in the grounds of the house I grew up in at the very edge of the Lake District National Park.  Today we went up into the heart of the lakes, even on a grey day it really is very pretty.

We drove up to Grasmere and all the way Rose exclaimed in a loud voice every time she saw a sheep.  Even in French this got very wearing as there are a lot here.

We visited Allan Bank where Jacob discovered a new affection for a fedora (not the tennis player).

And Rose spent ages painting a rabbit.

I was very impressed by the extreme shabby chic paintwork and thought this might be a good alternative to the side of the fridge for displaying the kids art.

We also went for the inevitable, Lakeland walk (despite Jacob moaning) where Rose found a place for circuit training halfway up a hill.
