Day 25 Grasmere

Woke to overcast and light drizzle but a beautiful outlook from our window. By breakfast the sun was out and the doors of the conservatory were all open. Cooked breakfast from the chef was a treat as well as a full continental breakfast!! Needless to say, we all enjoyed ourselves!! Sitting in the sun whiling away the morning, we planned the next few days, well our dinners anyway!!
Grasmere is a lot bigger and diverse than I expected and more touristy. We had a great walk around town, watched the school children in the river doing science experiments, listened to the lambs bleeting, marvelled at how green and fresh the countryside looked and enjoyed looking in the shops. Coffee break at the Tea House with the stream flowing then a visit to William Wordsworth's grave. Home for scones, jam and clotted cream and more planning for the week ahead. This was accompanied by an amazing gin and tonic.
We had dinner at the Grasmere brewery pub called Good Sport sitting outside in the evening sun. Great way to end our day wandering around Grasmere.Read more
