Today will be quite a quick one as we had a long day of travelling and getting ready for the back to school adventure tomorrow! Wee Daftie likes school so it isn’t really a hardship to get organised for it.
We had a lovely breakfast in Windermere before heading to the Beatrix Potter Experience just down the road from where we were staying.
It is a lovely little museum and exhibition about the story of Beatrix’s life and the stories she wrote and illustrated.
Wee Daftie is very familiar with the story of Peter Rabbit but not all of her stories so it was such fun to head around the installation and learn more.
We had a small booklet to fill in…well. I’m pretty sure it was designed for the kids to do but the three of us had a grand old time working together to solve all the clues.
I think the best bit was in the little garden itself. It is a beautiful space, growing real plants and flowers, with clues, hints and her beloved characters interspersed throughout.
After exploring and solving we headed to the car to start our journey home.
We only had such a short trip to the Lake District but we managed to do so much, to see so many beautiful things and had the very best time.
Thanks to a walk in the rain, the exhibition and doing the weekly shop, we managed to get our step target done for the day. Which is always great news!
Here’s two three full weeks done and just nine more days left of our challenge! Can’t believe we are here already and I can’t wait to see where our steps will take us next.
