A very British trip

Well, we have had nearly three days in the Lake District.  We stayed at The Pheasant Inn in Bassenthwaite.  It was simply lovely.  We had a room overlooking the front of the hotel and it
 was really peaceful.

We really didn't do much except walk, drive and relax which was just what I needed!  We had tea, with a teapot and a strainer and homemade shortbread. The inn itself was very cottagy and very British so it was a nice 'goodbye' visit really.  The scenery is stunning and although the weather wasn't brilliant it made for some good pictures!

We went to Wastwater which is easily the most brooding and dramatic of the lakes.  It was excellent.  Mind you, now we are home and have to get everything ready for the Open House tomorrow.  I can feel my stress levels rising as I type.
