Today was the big move; we were leaving pretty old Chapel Stile and heading to Grasmere. We finished packing this morning and cleaning up the cottage. A man from the company who owns the cottage arrived with his truck to move our suitcases to our new place.
We actually then headed south to Ambleside and then from Ambleside to Windemere. This is all by bus mind you. In Windemere, we ate lunch at a nice cafe called Francine's. I had a delicious Greek salad.
We then walked back to the bus station, which was conveniently located next to a grocery store called Booth's. Our mission was to pick out personal food and food we would need when it was our turn to cook dinner. On this rotation, Mike, Courtney and I are being a trio and get the opportunity to cook twice. Our first dinner is tomorrow and we have planned toad in a whole (or eggy in a basket as Mike likes to call it). Which is basically toast and eggs. Our second dinner will be later in the week and we will be making pizza.
With groceries in hand, and there were a lot of them, we got back onto a bus headed towards Grasmere. We got off in the center of town but little did we realize that we had to walk about a mile to get to our new home; Dr. Bob didn't mention that. So we sort of got a walk in today.
But our new home is beautiful. Here are some photos I snapped.
We got all settled in; I'm rooming with Courtney again and we have a sweet room. Ate dinner, lovely sandwiches prepared by yours truly and we have a class meeting in a little bit. I believe tomorrow will be a free day so the Trailblazing Trio will most likely be going on an adventure. But what's new?
