Some of the LGH old boys
attending the wedding/reunion secured prestigious accommodation at luxury hotels
while others (including us) ended up in the Lion and Lamb Inn which, though
boasting an impressive array of beer pumps, Sky sports TV, and cavernous games
room with dart boards and pool table, lacked a little grandeur and
sophistication in the bed and breakfast stakes; nevertheless it was clean,
comfortable and welcoming (and not at all to blame for the engineering works
that yesterday cut off electricity in the village requiring all power-related
activities such as showers, hair drying and straightening, breakfast and tea-brewing
to be completed by 08:30), with a good breakfast provided for a very reasonable
tariff, settled as we left this morning to return home via a stop in Keswick for
tea and scones (necessary to assuage withdrawal
symptoms from yesterday’s wedding feast) at the excellent Little Chamonix Café.
