Dove Cottage

Tuesday we drove through the Scottish countryside.  We traveled through the emerald green landscapes of the Lake District where the meadows had sheep and dairy cattle grazing.  The rock fences added character to the landscape.  The forests, fells( hills) and becks (streams) were very picturesque.  We visited Dove Cottage in the village of Grasmere to see where the poet William Wordsworth lived for several years.  What a beautiful area.  We also went past the farmyard where Beatrix Potter lived.  A long day on the bus but the scenery was very worth it.  Somewhere you would enjoy  making a return visit to and spend more time to explore the area.

We arrived in Chesshire, Wales,a small village. Just in time for our evening meal.
