Yorkshire Dales - Cottage Antics


Kate was happy that she got to watch formula 1 with "proper" commentary - apparently Amelia was interested too.

Grandma just about managed to resist Amelia's pleas for champagne.

Amelia spent the week working on her stair climbing skills.

Clapham






Our plan was to drive to the Lakes for the day but Amelia decided she was not a fan of the car so we headed for the next brown tourism sign and wound up in a lovely village with a nature trail. A worthwhile stop on the way to Keswick.

Keswick

After planning on "lunching at the Lodore" we made it to Keswick at 3:30 - just enough time for a walk along the railway/river path and a play in the meadow at the other end.

Yorkshire Dales - Walking around the cottage






We took a walk through the fields near the cottage. After visiting with these cows (who were more interested in Amelia than she was in them) they followed us down the field to the bottom where we had to enter it to get to the next style. We ended up having to walk through a herd of 15 cows, shooing them as we went. . . .they're big close up!
