Leaving Scotland.

After three lovely days on Skye, we began driving down the west coast of Scotland, through Glasgow, through Fort William, a lovely little town, and back into England, ending our journey in Keswick, in the Lake District of England. We stayed at this little inn, about ten miles from Keswick on a one lane road, through sheep pastures and past lakes. This district is incredibly beautiful. We stayed here, on a working sheep farm, with amazing hosts that were truly English. Just so welcoming, jovial and extremely helpful. We stayed in this lovely place for two days, exploring the town of Keswick and hiking through the hills of the farm, with basically nobody as company except sheep. This place was especially special because it had a bathroom that finally didn't have any mold. I don't think the UK has got the memo about mildew being harmful. It is everywhere. But not this place, it was warm and clean and there were flowers on all the window sills. It was quaint and relaxing.
