Home? What’s that?

September 22, 2024
Airbnb for tonight. This could be the perfect Airbnb.
The pub around the corner
English beer
Not our dinner

We are in an Airbnb in the village of Rookingham. The pub is 100 yards around the corner. We are cooking tonight, but I think it would have been necessary to book a table to eat there. Sunday night at 6, and it’s full. I like to visit pubs because we just don’t have the equivalent.

Pub in a long forgotten village Saturday night

Last night we were not able to find a campsite so we booked a room in this very old pub. It’s a very personal place, and we were the only non- residents of the village. It was $100 plus dinner and beer, under $50, and quite good.

Camping in the Lake District

We have been camping until last night, 13 nights in all, until last night. But the weather has been fantastic and it was easy to find campsites. Google “campsites near me” isn’t always helpful, unless you’re looking for a campground in California. Many don’t take our setup, etc, etc. last night we opted for Booking.com. I had fish and chips and Josette had lasagna, both judged perfect. Now it’s raining.

York River Tour

We went to York today. The York Mnster was occupied with services until afternoon and they didn’t allow dogs. Plus, it was eighteen euros. Instead we took a ride on a riverboat.

Tomorrow we are taking the ferry from Dover to Calais,?then staying in an Airbnb there. Tuesday, “Home”.
