    You are making me homesick. I had a home just outside Bowness for 25years. I regularly walked with my dog on the golf course where you are parked.

    Great vlog again guys, we went to st bees 2 years ago and went to Windermere and me and my sister went in the Beatrix potter museum and it was amazing. But you are right in the summer we couldn’t get lunch anywhere. Beatrix potter use to go to Scotland and the Lake District as a child growing up, as an adult she married a solicitor and she also bred herd wick sheep which were prize winners and brought farms to keep the landscape she most loved in the Lake District.When she passed away her properties went to the national trust xx

    How do Mark and Lisa 🙂well that answers the question I asked earlier, Lisa, LOL. guess the answer was no. I must admit that when I stayed in Bowness in my old van- Bessacarr Bessie, I was a carer for my ill mum so never got a chance to explore Bowness. Now I'm on my own and in Viv-i-van, maybe that will change and I 'll venture back. I am aiming for a couple of nights in Keswick soon in Viv-I-van so I'm pretty much gonna be in the right spot for some bimbles. I might do a night park up where you parked so thanks for the heads up. I just now need to get used to solo van life-which is not that easy when you were used to travelling with someone else. I will get there though, and hopefully manage to meet up with peeps on some of the youtube van life meetups. As ever, loving the channel, LOVED the drone footage (id love a drone for my channel) and always enjoy your company on youtube. Bessy regs-Kenny

    the reason why Beatrix potter is well known in the far east is that her books are giving to school kids to learn English, so they know all the stories when they grow up. you need to go to Keswick a much nicer area that doesn't have too many day tripper tourists, a great walk around the lake or take to a higher path and walk over cat bells (fells)
