St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, had been shipwrecked on Duddon Sands on the Cumbrian coast. From here, he made his way across the county, converting the people as he went.

The lawn, trees, and shrubs are constantly being cut and trimed, which reinforces the feeling that all the details are done for that enjoyment of your guests. Valley views appear almost everywhere, even any window cut into the hedge.

We were making a decent dent in the bag of assorted cookies as we watched for Andrews rod to bend over. It would move at times like someone tugging about the rope of church bell.
