Another visit to the award winning Fitz park this morning to work up an appetite….. then it was off to Bryson’s for pastries which we took back to our apartment to share with Nana and Raroo. Have to admit that these are some of the best pastries I have ever had- especially the mixed fruit Danish – unbelievably good!

After a bit of shopping, it was off to Treeby and Bolton’s – we had to go there because it was my Dad’s favourite. Great food and although there was no children’s menu, they gave us a plate to share bits of our meals with Abbie… which she generally prefers anyway! Treeby and Bolton’s speciality as far as my Dad is concerned are there platters. You can choose between meat, fish and cheese – we tried both the meat and the fish – which were festooned with local goodies such as smoked salmon, mackerel, huge prawns, smoked duck, chorizo and sausage. They were made for one hungry person as they also come with crusty bread, but can easily be shared.

After lunch it was off to Hope Park. Time for a spot of crazy golf and …
Yet another English Lakes ice cream!
Abbie and I did our own thing for dinner and I hastily rustled up an easy, but tasty bowl of pasta in our tiny kitchen.
The sauce is made by frying 4 rashers of smoked bacon with a clove of garlic (finely chopped). When sizzling and cooked, add a handful of freshly podded peas (I didn’t want to buy a bag of frozen for one week), and a splosh of double cream. Bubble for a few mins, chuck the pasta in and stir to combine. Serve with a sprinkling of grated parmesan.

Abbie tucks in!
Luckily a long, hot climb up the Catbells followed the next day to ensure that we didn’t just go POP!
