...and the Gondola landing jetty was fully submerged...
….but Coniston and the fells looking beautiful as always!
And there was Brantwood in all its glory!
The kids enjoyed exploring the house and gardens....
….but their favourite bit was sampling the Lakes Hand Made ice cream complete with the cafe's resident tame but wild birds!
Later, this week, we ventured to Bowness and The Belsfield Hotel- former home of Henry Schneider the great iron entrepreneur from our town. I loved the story of how he used to get his private steam yacht from the ferry pitching opposite his house, down to Lakeside, then use his own private railway carriage to take him to his offices in Barrow! It is a lovely building and the grounds are stunning.....
….but I doubt Henry Schneider saw this view from his bedroom!!
Busy but not too bad in Bowness this half-term...…
….plenty of Christmas being rolled out though!!!
