In August we had a holiday catching up with friends in Lancashire and enjoyed a day
trip in the Lake District. I've also listed some
recommended restaurants in the area.
Bowness-on-Windermere
Bowness-on-Windermere is a small tourist resort on the shore of Lake
Windermere, the largest lake in England.
The views from Bowness out across the lake and up to the mountains are quite
spectacular.
We also visited The
World of Beatrix Potter, a museum dedicated to the life and works of this
famous author who lived in the Lake District.
We met some of the characters from her tales including
Mr Tod, the fox
The hedgehog, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle in her kitchen
and of course Peter Rabbit and his friends.
We rounded off a lovely
afternoon with Robbie in a beer garden. It was very
relaxing sipping our shandies whilst enjoying the surrounding scenery.

Also during our holiday we dropped in on Yvonne & John for a cuppa and a
slice of cake.
