June 9 - Bowness, White Moss Walk along Grasmere

  Today Jecca wrote in the morning and Mark and Barbara drove to Bowness-on-Windermere to walk around and reminisce about the year they spent in Lancaster and when they drove up to the Lake District in September before classes started, but David and Jecca were in school.

   There was an int

eresting problem at the Pay-and-Display as the machine did not work. It kept voiding the transactions and people gathered to try to figure it out. It only accepted coins which only one couple had. Then people began calling the "report a problem" number and the only one who got a person was told to leave her number plate and she would not be charged. So, the rest of us all began to call, but got recordings. Barbara left our information and, fingers crossed, we will not be fined.

    It rained intermittently and we ducked into a coffee shop for one downpour.  

     From there, we went to the wonderful grocery store, Booth's, where we got food as well as grocery bags with puns on them.

      The front door lock was broken and a locksmith came and fixed it.

     Later, Barbara and Jecca went for a walk at White Moss along Lake Grasmere. We had planned to go higher into the fells, but it was quite windy, so we opted for a less windy way.

    For dinner, we walked into Ambleside and ate delicious Thai food at Doi Intanon which is in an old church.
