Lake Windemere is a beautiful
little town with storybook buildings. It is the home of Beatrix Potter
(I think), and has a Beatrix Potter store and theme thing for kids. It was beautiful out so we decided to take a boat ride around the lake. A few sprinkles chased the rest of my group downstairs and under cover, but I "braved" the weather and got a history lesson of the area from a local man. By the time we got back to shore, the weather had changed and it was pouring. I had just gotten under a small roof when I heard a loud roar. It was the Red Arrows!!! AWESOME!!! |
Mouse Under Glass at Beatrix Potter's |
You can't see really good, but this place is "Mrs. Gee's". (Barbara, I hope you see this!) |
See, it really was beautiful and sunny out!
WoW!!! The Red Arrows! (Equivalent
to our Blue Angels)
You can't imagine what a thrill it was watching
them!
Saturday night we were back in Manchester. We went to dinner at a Turkish restaurant with the Airleys and their friends. Yummm, I love Turkish food now! |
Sunday morning, it was brunch at the Airleys. Linda's mom and Andy (my internet friend) joined us. |
A little while later we were on a train headed back to London. |
