It seems a pity that the hotel idea floundered...it would be a fabulous place to stay. What a view you showed us out of that window...breathtaking!! <br /><br />It looks as if I need to peek back at a post or two.

The roads around Townend were some of the narrowest we travelled on.<br />My husband seemed to get used to the driving pretty well, while I was always a little on edge (literally). <br />I'm so glad to have you on our adventure! ♥ The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-78491520301249948512015-07-03T14:45:17.566-04:002015-07-03T14:45:17.566-04:00Another beautiful post Martha Ellen, I love the st...Another beautiful post Martha Ellen, I love the stone dwellings in Hawkshead & surrounding area's. Hawkshead did not use to be full of Peter Rabbit shop, it has such a pretty mix of shops with Peter as well. Did you visit Townend near Windermere, I just love that national Trust house & of course it is on Troutbeck Beatrix's favourite place. Now that is a steep lane to get to that house, I do hope you got there.<br />Did you get use to our English roads & lanes, I know when we visited America the roads were huge.<br />Can't wait to see were you went next on your trip to England.<br />Fondly MichelleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751286443138392564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-4945543666124189472015-07-03T10:23:15.217-04:002015-07-03T10:23:15.217-04:00Dotsie, I'm glad you are getting my posts agai...Dotsie, I'm glad you are getting my posts again!

Loved it! I would feel just the way you did. I wonder if the post missed my reader, but this one did show up. I would love to be included in your drawing of course! I also enjoyed this post; you write so well I feel like I am right there with you. I was thinking this will be a nice journal for you of your trip. You could even print it sometime into a book. Thanks for sharing your trip. The views from the castle windows are breathtaking! podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-75854409828262707442015-07-03T06:38:35.973-04:002015-07-03T06:38:35.973-04:00Oh my goodness, Martha Ellen!

The issue may be at the other end for certain people at certain times--as Vee suggests. I see that when we go to England I'm going to have to have to have a healthy budget for the shops! For me, England is all about the views. I hope I can put the camera down and just take it all in (but only after I get lots of photos, too!)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-44706151186904834962015-07-02T19:16:01.465-04:002015-07-02T19:16:01.465-04:00Hello Vee, good to know that most issues correct t...Hello Vee, good to know that most issues correct themselves!

That view alone is breathtaking. <br />So glad that you shared it with us. I visited your link and appreciated seeing some of the things you saw (but could not photograph), especially the darling little mouse. <br /><br />As for your blog not updating...it's an ongoing problem for all of us at some time or another. I call them the rolling blogouts because they are regular and nearly everyone gets to take a turn. The good news is that things will right themselves and, hopefully, it will be a long time before it happens again. <br />Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
