We caught up with a few Herdies......
...visited some literary places.....
...ate a few scones.....
...went paddling....
...but...wow...I haven't visited Brantwood before, and that place was stunning!
I've looked at that little annex room with the leaded windows before, on photos, but now I've stood in it, and pretended I actually lived there..It's the annex to John Ruskin's bedroom; the actual room where he died...it has atmosphere, believe me...in fact, the whole place is beautifully preserved, and well worth a visit!
...and coffee with a view in the café too!
Back to the peace and tranquillity of Furness Abbey today.....
...and Jackie's lemon drizzle cake...you've got to get yourself down to Abbey Mill Café to try some...it's on a par with my sis-in-law Lou's lemon drizzle and that is superb too!!
A bit damp underfoot down here today, but lovely and green...
Ha ha!
Can't beat the English countryside......oh, and don't forget this at the end of the month...
Last word to John Ruskin...
