Wasted day - Thursday

Today was a day where we didnt really achieve much at all.

Leannes cough has returned with a vengance and neither of us got much sleep last night. So the first task today was to find a quack to have a look. We were directed to the Mary Hewetson Cottage Hospital, a local walk in and rehab clinic. The staff we really nice and helpful and confirmed that her lungs were clear, and prescribed a steroid inhaler to try and get the cough under control - its probably Leanne's post-Covid cough revved up after her infection a few weeks ago and hopefully the inhaler will help.

Next step was to get the prescription filled - and of course neither of the local pharmacies had it in stock. So we headed 20 minutes down the road in Grasmere, where a tiny village pharmacy had some.

Through all this the rain just plummeted down in a steady downpour. This continued all day - we've had 17mm today.

Given the weather, which meant we couldnt see much or get out in the rain with Leanne's cough, we decided to have a quiet drive to Windermere via Ambleside. It's a very pretty drive (from what we could see 😕) and both towns a also really quaint.
