Monday 24 May The drive to Barrow-in-Furness passed along a beautiful road this morning. We visited Furness Abbey and took lots of pictures. Nice drive the weather continues to be beautifully sunny. 

After the abbey we drove along beside Morecombe Bay where the low tide revealed the deadly sands. We lunched at The Old Farmhouse.

In the afternoon we toured Holker Hall and enjoyed long walks in the gardens.

Day Fifteen Wednesday 19 May

The weather this morning was not conducive to appreciating the views from Land's End nor the kind of weather to be kind to Chris's arthritis so Chris, Steve and Kathy stayed home whilst I thought it a grand morning for a walk and so did the couple I met along the way on the Coast Path. I walked  as far as the labyrinth then made my way up to the single track road back to Seaton. This section of the path winds up and down the wooded cliff top with occasional glimpses of the waves crashing on secluded beaches two hundred feet or so below. The common wild flowers along the way I could identify as bluebells, red campion, buttercup and what's that smell? Wild garlic. I found wild strawberry in flower, too. And trees: groves of sycamore. And I heard and saw birds: robin, chaffinch, dunnock, rooks and pheasant.
