Lakes District

Today we drove from Little Town to Hawkeshead,to visit the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which has the original writing and drawings that Beatrix Potter did. The sketches were all in black & white in the beginning, and started as gift cards. Later, the publisher requested that she do the drawings in watercolor . Unfortunately, not photography is allowed in the gallery! After spending time walking around the village, we stopped for a Hot Chocolate & cake. (the cake from which the slice was cut was huge about 18 inches across) we then drove to Windermere via the lake and continued our journey through Carlisle and on to Clarencetown, near Dumfries for the night.
