Once in 2001 and again in 2006, touring England with university students studying English Literature. Ours was a unique literary tour of England, so in Grasmere we spent time at Dove Cottage and Rydal Monte, channeling Wordsworth, but missed Yew Tree Farm. My traveling friend and I plan to return to the Lake District and want to stay in Grasmere. We love all things British, especially anything connected with English writers and their literature. I enjoyed the video; I love your blog. I just took a little mini virtual vacation this evening and had a lovely time. Thank you. annannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-34107795951660764692010-11-06T02:22:20.472-05:002010-11-06T02:22:20.472-05:00I was delighted to find your blog and see this vid...I was delighted to find your blog and see this video. In the fall of 2007, while visiting my son and his family in Great Livermere, I took the train to the Lake District and spent two nights at Yew Tree Farm. When taking my reservation Jon noted that, being a Sunday, I could choose to be served one of Caroline's suppers--how could I say no? Every year at this time wanderlust beckons to the gypsy in my soul and I long to return there. Thank God "there will always be an England," and I will follow my heart there. Thanks again for your splendid blog.

When we were leaving they were just bringing the Herdwicks out, the border collies herding them up into the fields. it as just magic. One place which has never changed. I love the lakes, grew up just 50 miles away and miss them so much.

I have read that the Victorian obsession with natural-history studies could be found everywhere (even in the animal drawings Potter made as a child there is an attention to physical form, attained through her habit of boiling her dead rabbits down to their carcasses so she could study their skeletons). <br />Of course she could have just bought one at the butcher shop.A Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-48352647488943101952010-10-23T14:11:14.169-05:002010-10-23T14:11:14.169-05:00I loved this video.
