Rain, rain and moe rain. Well this is England and as I have said it is 'summer'
Yesterday we d to
explore Whitehaven but with constant rain we drove back ho
me and decided to sit it out. Later in the afternoon the rain stopped and so we set off to Workington just above Whitehaven. Both were old harbour towns and so of course more one way streets and very narrow. At least we found some parking (not too expensive) and spent the next 2 hrs walking the old town that has been rejuvenated with a large people only area and lots of shops.
We enjoyed ourselves and for once didn't have rain to worry about.
Today has been fine and once the heavy mist cleared we have actually seen the sun and blue sky.
We were a le to visit Frizington and find the house where my grandfather was born and lived before coming to Aust with his parents and brothers when he was 2yrs old.After that we headed out to drive around Lake Windemere in the heart of the lakes district.
What a magic drive we had. The road passed through many small villages and it is obvious that this is a popular spot for visitors. There were people everywhere and there was even a marathon being run along the way. So put together two directions of traffic, narrow roads and running,jogg
