The Lakes Day 12. Sedburgh and Farfield Mill

 Although not so good as Thursday, today's weather was still reasonable and finished with beautiful warm autumn light, allowing us to get the awning down.

Farfield Mill was, as always, inspirational. Printer Stuart Wilkie had an exhibition. We have one of his prints (of High Sweden Bridge) and, as well as his work, I enjoyed looking at his sketch books and work in progress. Other artists had their sketch books on display and they are all works of art in their own right.

What a delightful town Sedburgh is with its book and craft shops. It is the sort of alternative place we love. We found a spinning/weaving shop and spent ages talking to the very friendly ladies about their work.

Once home and awning down it was time for tea: chicken, bacon and avocado salad. A very Nigel Slater experience.
