Ulverston Oh Ulverston

With apologies to Glenn Campbell or the bloke who wrote the song - you know Rachel. A wet day in Windemere (caught myself calling it Windy - time to move on) saw a late departure for the coast at Barrow-in-Furness. Ulverston looked a pretty little town as we passed through in the rain but Barrow is a big port like our Newcastle before the steel works closed. We did not dawdle. Went on one of our country lane detours in search of Geaston Water Mill and Castle. Not recommended.
Currently sipping in the Windemere Hotel awaiting a break in the weather. Last day today. Next stop, Blackpool and Liverpool. This grey weather is probably obligatory for the English seaside. Whitby was an aberration.
Will upload a picture later but just imagine a wet grey day and you have it. Tess is writing postcards and at the rate she is doing them if you miss out I would be worried!
