Scotland the Bravest

We left Glasgow early Friday morning in the Jacob's Creek mobile, courtesy of Matt, and drove down to The South via Ayre and then down and around the coast to Gretna Green, which is just on the border of England. We then went on to Carlisle, Penrith and then to Keswick. All the names sound very familiar! We stayed the night at Kendall and the following morning drove back to Keswick and then to Windemere. A lot of scenes for the movie Miss Potter were filmed around the Lakes District. There are Beatrix Potter shops and exhibitions there - Kerry's standing near one Peter Rabbit shop in the bottom photo, and it was hard to get her away from it. The mountains, lakes and winding country lanes are absolutely beautiful - the roads are edged in rhododendrens (?) just growing wild. It is a very popular place, there where people everywhere especially the walkers and push bike riders! A quick two hour drive up the Motorway was all it took to get back to Glasgow on Saturday night.
