Today, Mark and Barbara took a drive in the morning. We started by going to Troutbeck, up some pretty narrow, twisting roads.
It was beautiful with lots of sheep and cows and amazing complexes of stone walls. Jecca stayed home to write.
After Troutbeck, we went to Bowness, parked and took a walk along the lake in the drizzle. It never rained enough to make us run for the car.
We had lunch at home and then took Jecca to a spot outside of Grasmere where we left her to take a hike up to higher elevation to a tarn. We went home and did a last laundry.
When she was done with the hike, we picked her up and went to Matthew's Bar and Bistro in Ambleside for a delicious dinner - we all, very unusually, ordered the same meal - a falling-off-the-bone lamb shank with mashed potatoes and gravy with a side of veggies - marinated cabbage, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. It was very good. Then, we shared a rhubarb Eton mess.
We will be sad to leave here as it's been a good stay in a very nice cottage.
