Gingerbread


The baby was hard at work at his job in a popular D-I-Y store.














So, we decided to take the girls out for some scenery and fun.

One week we decided to take Daisy to the Langdales in the Lake District.
The guide description of it is, 'If there could be only one walk that captures the timeless tranquility of the Lake District - then this is the one!'
We forgot to pay attention to the footwear guide though, 'stout boots with a good grip on the soles are essential'- it's a good job that Daisy is as sure footed as a mountain goat, and believes that she is Dora the Explorer.
Daisy thought the dry stone walls and the sheep were amazing, and walked remarkably well on the rough terrain, she did about 3 miles walking before her little feet got tired.

This is the point were Daisy decided it was time to go and get some food and have a nap!

The next day out was Estella's turn.

Estella likes to visit the beautiful village of Grasmere, just a few miles over from Great Langdale.
There is a beautiful old fashioned Gingerbread shop there where they make lovely old recipe gingerbread
And, the building had a long history.


Grasmere has a shop that sells some fantastic items. Previously, I have purchased a model of the number 3 Askham Bar bendy bus that runs in and around York, the smallest pool table I have ever seen that is approx 8" by 4" and a photo mosaic 1,000 piece Eeyore jigsaw. We got a wooden snake this week, you hold the snake by the tail, and it moves realistically.
