Well, it's raining like mad here today and my Ferry was cancelled due to a high-wind report on the sea, so I've re-scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a smoother day for sailing...

May 22 - Rydal

Went up to The Caves in the hill on the other side of Rydal Lake yesterday. It was cloudy and windy when we left, but didn't seem like rain. Wrong. First day I've been here where it's rained hard enough to get truly wet while walking. Luckily, I wore my heavy jacket with a hood and so only my...

May 20, 2011 - Rydal Hall

Walked down to Rydal Hall yesterday with Sarah. It turns out that this estate is rather young, being built in 1906. It had lovely gardens, which would have been more lovely if they actually had fowers in them! I suppose the term that better fits at the moment is "grounds." Anyway, they were nice...

May 14, 2011 - Nab Cottage

May 11, 2011 - Nab Cottage

Another work day similar to yesterday...a little easier now that I know the routine. As I was clearing the dining room this morning, I had a lovely, lengthy convervation with two of the guests, two elderly women up from York and Leeds enjoying a 3-day holiday who are grandmothers-in-law (and...

May 10, 2011 - Nab Cottage

So, I had my first yoga session last night, which lasted about 2 hours. Tim leads a yoga group every Monday night in the "big room" upstairs in the barn (which is no longer a barn but a workspace with 3 classrooms, a bathroom, and the staff sleeping area, which now includes me). Luckily, I...

May 9, 2011 - Nab Cottage

Hello from the Lake District in England. My trip went smoothly...I had no problems with my train connections or catching the bus, so that's a good start. I am however, knackered, as they say here, so this will be a short blog. Tim, his wife, Liz, and Woytek, the cottage manager, are all very...
