Well, well, Mrs. B and myself became tourists for the day yesterday and drove down to Lake Windermere with my step-daughter. The reason for this jaunt being that my Wife's lifelong friend Bertie is renting a cottage adjacent to the Lake to enjoy a weeks break from the trials and tribulations of running her own buisness. The cottage, at High Strawberry Gardens, is seen above. It belongs to the National Trust, is 2 miles up a secluded shoreline path, and is the perfect place for those wishing to get away from it all. Out the front door and across a narrow track and you reach......
..this jetty. If you then take your chair to the end, a la Bertie, you have views of the lake such as this... 
...looking north, and this one...
...across to Windermere itself. It's a very secluded place off the beaten track but within a half hours walk to the village of Far Sawrey for provisions. Just occasionally something will happen to remind you that you're in the 21st century (such as this)...
.., but in the main it's like being in another world. Fantastic!
