The Lake District
Dear Friends
Now what shall I tell, you; to-
day? It has •been such an inter-
esting week that it is difficult to
choose,. So how about a quick
• description of the • whole week?
We did not hurry away from
Boon Crag Farm on Monday as we
were ' going only. 8 miles to Am-
bleside. While shopping there,. 'I.
saw ' an ` office advertising Coach
Tours. Certainly the easy way to
see the Lake District. • The „Mone
day afternoon ►tour was Ullswater,
Eight Lakes. and Borrowdale. I
thought it over and then went..
in • and booked three seats. We
ate lunch• in a. Car Park and then
started out looking for a .Cara-
van site and a bed.: and breakfast
in reasonable proximity, Thefirst
place turned us down -- no dor=
mobiles! The next one was ;a
large site at Fallbarrow Hall and
'the Hall itself, .a large old house,
is a sort of private hotel, run by.
a religious group but is non -de-
nominational. We were allowed to
park beside the house under two
enormous cedar trees -- a .,very
photogenic spot.
The tour in . the afternoon was
wonderful. There really`°were eight.
lakes and ever so many small viil-
,• lages. We •went.. over • the • Kirk -
stone Pass which was fairly' rug-
,ged. I was glad to be able . to
relax . and: enjoy ; the:; scenery!
Most .•of, the Fells ' or bills were
, grass or , gorse. covered •so the
lovely contours -were' very plain.
The lakes -were so beautiful wheth-
er large like Windermere and Ulls-•'
water or small like Grasmere : and
Rydal. We stopped near a spright-
ly little waterfall, Aira Force, for
tea. We went. through. Troutbeck
of : John. Peel fame, ..and saw
homes of Wordsworth, Hugh Wal-
pole, Shelley and several, other
writers. . We ' drove through Bor-
,rowdale, one :' of the wettest spots
in England on a gloriously sunny
day. , We : saw Castlerigg, an ,an-
cient 'Stone • Circle, and, also two..
huge Kirkstones part of . another
Circle. Our driver y• commentat-
or*
ommentator' was very good. •
We enjoyed that tour :'so much

Thursday we were on our own
again. We ' went to see the home
of Beatrix Potter, If you have.
some of her delightful books, you,,
may see some of the actual far-
niture in some of the illustrations.
l
could have 'spent hours there.
Then •we went on ' over a narrow
road to see Tarn, Hews..I think
that means the hill by the small
lake, but since there were hills
all around , I . don't know . which
was the special one. But the
views from. 'the one I climbed.
were :gorgeous. Going ,back, ' we
had a small encounter with a
stone wall by •the road, but when
we got back to Boon Crag fore
the nighty Mr. Oliphant inspected
the damage and said "Oh,it's
nought!" We ' got a royal welcome
at the farm andwere visited by
everyone including the motherless.
lamb who came right in . and
climbed- up on the bed! •
Saturday we . stopped first at
Kindal; the birthplace of the wife'
who outlived Henry VIII, and is
just. out of the' Lake District. The
Lake : District is very concentrated,
like tightly wrinkled and crinkled.
paper. As we left, ..the wrinkles
became smoothed out and the
views were ; much more . wide and
open. Then we went on to 'Kirkby.
Lonsdale.• Our night there was.
spent in • a parking spot on the
roadside ,on the banks of the Riv-
er Lune. There was a lovely park
`at -we --went-: on -another -o
day. These tours were •: from 2:30
to 6:30 but the actual mileage
covered was : not great.
On Tuesday we. went down the
east side of Windemere and part
way up ' the west side. We stop-
ped first at Hawkeshead to see
the Grammar School which ' Words-
there tooand even `Conveniences"
on the, other. side ' of the road.
Really gypsies!
Saturday was 'a very lucky day.
We went into Giggleswick to • see
the interesting old church and
were . just ' in time for an ancient
custom. During a wedding in the
churchthe children itiethe gates
shut and must be given- pennies'
by' the bride -groom. before: they
open them again. After seeing
;that,.. we.. gave the young couple
our "Best Wishes from . Canada"
and drove on .to the School Chapel;
It is on the very top., of a high
hill, and is a fantastic building
— allmosaic .and gold and texts
and scrolls.' and memorial win-
dows and carving.
The afternoon experience was,
the ; last word! .I went „to see:' Skip-.
e--and-unwittingly joined
a group being : taken around by
the present owner, a wealthy bus-.
iness man. He was most pleasant
and gracious and pointed out spec-
ial things with such sweeping ges-
tures I have ' no words . for it
all! Also,fi have run out of weight
