    Oh it's purely based on an intellectual interest, I have no more emotional ties with the man. Slight tug at the heart watching him wave, but only slight.

    Discover any new eating establishments with V on your trip? I'm back at the Drunken Duck post Christmas.

    I was practising for retirement, so very much enjoyed fish and chips at the Old Keswickian on a Tuesday, when they do a pensioner's special of haddock, chips, bread and butter and tea at £6.25. Bargain.

    Otherwise I cooked at home, in our little housey halfway up our fell, looking out at the sheeps and birds. :sigh:

    The Drucken Duck has gone mental, I'm told. They lost a bit of quality and lost business, which they've tried to make up for with some rdiculous price increases. It doesn't sound good.

    Hmmm - well it was up to its usual standard and I didn't notice any difference in price in December. Was still heaving with locals as well. Thanks for preparing me to be disappointed. And there was me looking forward to it.

    It was a local who told me all this, so he may have had an ulterior motive.

    I have no reason to be in that area now we have moved out to the remote north west, anyway.

    Whereabouts are you looking at, then?

    Also, why are there bars on the bedroom windows?

    Prices look the same - £38 for three courses may scare off some locals but it's good value for that level of quality.

    The menu isn't dog walker friendly, which I expect is his point. Still loads of locals in there and their real ale is quite wonderful.

    I am now looking forward to it again.

    Where will you stay? If you're not taking a house I heartily recommend this option.

    Drunken Duck again - loved staying there even more than eating there. Having a pub below your rooms has its advantages. And the rooms in the main part are very nice, not sure about the out buildings. Breakfast was my favourite meal there - quite exceptional.

    I've stayed at Nanny Brow - wasn't a fan.
