This morning we drove through the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and the Pennines and then through Cumbria and the amazing Lakes District with miles and miles of dry stone walls dividing the fields of farms with their stone farm houses.
Our first stop was Grasmere, home of William Wordsworth (who is buried there), Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit and Herdwick sheep. Grasmere was a special place and it and its surrounding scenery was visually stunning.
It was then into Scotland as we made our way to Edinburgh. The drive there was amazing also - lush green farmlands, rolling green hills and sheep everywhere. It is a greener green than you could ever imagine. No wonder the sheep, which are everywhere, look so healthy.

Traveler It's beautiful
Traveler We loved that part of the world too. The green is greener than in Australia.

Isn’t she lovely…her lambs are a cross…true Herdwick lambs are born black and gradually change over their first couple of years.
Traveler So sorry both my suggestions for Grasmere did not work out.
