Keswick

We decided to skip the formal walks today as the rain would be continuous and the mud even more so especially on slippery cliffs. Sharon says “as much as we like them.”

Keswick

High on the list is the pencil museum.

Walked into Keswick to find a proper tea house before explorations and museum.

    Pencil Museum! HA! I can beat that. Chris and I went to The Crab Museum in Margate over Easter. Did you know that crustaceans are amongst the most ancient animal species? Horseshoe “crabs” are genuinely among the oldest animal lineages. But they are more closely related to spiders and scorpions. FFF (FInal Fun Fact): Crabs have evolved at least five separate times. They’re a collection of branches in the decapod family tree that converged on the same body plan, not a single lineage.
