Here are some more of the photos from yesterday-we met some real highland cattle just outside Gretna Green.They are just so cute!
We went walkabout around Ullswater and found this pub-had to get a photo of course!
The weather has changed today-rain and winds but that didn't stop us from going off and having a good mooch around.
We went from Kendal over to Keswick, a lovely drive with some spectacular scenery en route.
We are going to try the Chinese restaurant tonight--its just up the road from the guest house-which is highly recommended by the way.
We have room 7 which has the super kingsized bed--it was so comfy---and so big!!! We both lost each other during the night--would love one at home----will have to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night we went to the pub recommended by our hosts Sturart and Yvonne from the Lyndhurst Guest House--The wheatsheaf was as expected. Stuart had warned us they serve great food, he advised us to share a starter as portion sizes were generous.
As we were both ravenous we shared a combo which consisted of scampi,plaice , garlic mushrooms and onion rings with some bbq sauce to dip in. Beautiful-- but lots of it!
Then we ordered the mini Lamb Henri with fresh veg. We couldn't believe the size of it-it almost looked like a whole shoulder of lamb on the plate-besides all the fresh veg and onion and mint gravy--no wonder Stuart had told us no-one had finished 3 courses there!Its hard to believe that anyone has ever finished 2 courses! The prices were very good though-with 2 drinks to start and a bottle of wine with the meal it was less that £35
It was a shame to leave it but to be honest one plate full would have been more than enough for the two of us!
