6/5/16 Robyn

As you read in Doug's post, a lovely, lazy, rainy day. After visiting the slate mine and taking the bus to Keswick, the motion of the bus in the tight windy roads made me quesy. 

I recovered in time for a lovely pint, soup and salad at the Dog and Gun Pub and took some Dramamine and had a wonderful rainy day nap on return to Seatoller. After a bath, I feel excellent. 

There are twelve newcomers to the hotel. Six boys around eleven years old and their dads. We will have three of the boys in the right next to us and the excitement among them is wonderful. They will be climbing one of the peaks tomorrow. The eight year old son of our hosts, Lucas, completed a rock climb with his school today and was very excited it about it. It is fabulous how the children start young and hiking is such a way of life here. I'm looking forward to another delicious dinner here. From starters to dessert to cheese last, it was superb. We are having Sea Bass tonight. Here are views from the house.
