Sticky Toffee Pudding is Sean's favorite dessert. While we were in the Watendlath we discovered that originated from the Lake District. In reading a local magazine that was left in the cottage I found a place that made sticky toffee puddings! So, we piled into the car on a bright, sunny, cool morning and headed out!
On our way our, we stopped by the side of the road to take this picture by the tarn. Keswick is to the left, you just can't see it as it out of the picture.
When we were done we headed to a stone circle that was close.
As you can see, the scenery was beautiful. As we were leaving the stone circle we heard jets. We looked up and saw two of them flying around the fells to the right of this picture. I talked to a local potter about it and she said that they are always out on clear days. She also told me that if you are hiking on the fells it can be quite disconcerting to look down and see the jets below you!
After a bit of driving we arrived in the village where the bakery was located. We parked and headed up to the small cafe for some lunch.
Here is a little river that ran though the village, very pretty and green!
While walking trough the village we saw this, horse in your backyard anyone?
After lunch and grabbing our some more of the Cartmel sticky toffee pudding to take with us, we headed back to the cottage. It was a gorgeous afternoon, so we headed out for a hike.
We headed over a few of the smaller fells and found this lovely valley.
Here we are walking back, see the sheep on the trail! They are the rare Herdwick breed.
Walking back to Watendlath.
My husband is standing on the packhorse bridge taking the picture.
We headed back for some dinner and to pack, the next morning we were leaving for Scotland.
