Red hot day in the Lake District yesterday. We headed for Grange Over Sands where I used to holiday in the family touring caravan when I was wee. It used to have a beach when I visited but now, due to the re-routing of a major river (and other major geographical stuff I don't understand) it only has a muddy meadow. The meadow gets submerged a few times every year during a full moon and is controlled and patrolled by sheep what do swim. The town is still lovely and sleepy with not much to do except walk along the thin prom and admire the Lakeland architecture. We drove to Cartmel on the way home to see the home of the legendary 'sticky toffee pudding' but the village was crawling with tourists and there was nowhere to park so we kept going.
