Grasmere

" Grasmere...The loveliest spot that man hath ever found" 
 William Wordsworth

We got the bus to Grasmere today...

Chloe had a whale of a time swimming as we walked right round the lake!

Here is Chloe in the Grasmere Daffodil Garden...formerly a piece of waste land beside the church. The plan is to have 10,000 wild daffodils blowing in the breeze! 

Hundreds of people have also bought stones which are engraved with the names of loved ones. The stones are made of Lakeland slate, and have been laid out to form paths around the garden. Three of those stones are engraved with the names of our loved ones...

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth
