Second day D had interview and a few hours spent in Carlisle. Then onto Bowness on Solway a little time there bird watching and taking in the scenery which was just beautiful although rather cold..
Day three we then travelled back through the Lake District on the journey home, so a brief stop at Hawkshead then Hill Top Farm at Near Sawery, a childhood dream to visit Beatrix Potters home and it didn't disappoint, a charming little house that I could of quite happily lived in. I can understand how inspiring for Beatrix it must have been living there.
Then onto Lake Windermere to catch the car ferry across. I must say I have fallen in love with Lake District as many people do. Daughter has been offered a place which we are all very excited about. She has one more interview at Falmouth next week for Marine and Natural History Photography degree and if she is offered a place there too then will have to decide where she would like to go so fingers crossed.
Hill Top Farm
If you look carefully you can see a few rabbits and as they were in the garden of Hill Top wondered whether one of them was Peter Rabbit :)
Views across Near Sawery
Outlook from pub/tea room next to Hill Top Farm

Could not leave without taking a photo of the Native sheep Herdwick
Bowness on Solway a haven for sea birds
Views across Lake Bassenthwaite
Will be back soon with photo's of Falmouth etc as we are staying a few days there too. It's one good way of making Husband slow down he is self employed and a workaholic :)
Have a great weekend everyone
Love and Light
