Lakes District England

Arriving in the town of Hawkshead in the Lakes District, England. Just visited the Beatrix Potter Gallery in the town.While waiting for our the bus ride back to Windermere, I took out my sketch book and start drawing the church on a small hill across the road. The church was said to be 400 years old. Such a wonderful place to sketch here ! Every little lanes and building are so interesting and inspiring.All the small cottages and houses have stone walls, slates tiled roof and have beautiful rock gardens. Flowers grow almost eveywhere, by the road side, on the roof even in between gaps on the stone walls. I did a sketch of a bunch of flower display on the table in the restaurat we have lunch earlier. the restaurant owner said these are from her kitchen garden at the back.
