SUNDAY 22ND

We left Keswick yesterday morning, and although the local man assured us it was going to be a nice day, the mist was still clinging to the mountains and across the lakes as we drove away.   By lunch time we had arrived at Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales and had left the wet behind however it was still clouding.  Our main mission was to find somewhere to stay for the next week and with luck managed to get the last cottage left in Hawes.   It’s a cute little one up, one down stone place attached to other buildings. Not sure what it’s original use would have been, maybe a store room or something. 

This morning we went for a walk around Hawes and up around another little village.  They all seem to run into each other.  The views are lovely from high up and although we are in the town there are sheep in the paddocks around us giving it a rural feeling.

This afternoon we went driving around, probably not even 10 miles, around more villages and up onto the hills where we had some nice views over the valleys.
