Lane House B & B in the Lake District, Cumbria turned out to be the only place that my GPS whom the ladies called Ms. Garmin had difficulty to locate. Even with the proprietor's real time guide via the hand phone, it still took us more than an hour to finally reaching the place after many wrong turns.
Once we settled down after checking into this rural countryside B & B, we discovered that each of the properties in this area in fact is not given a house number. Instead every property is given a name. This is truly a challenge for the mail men who need to remember each place by its name rather than to follow the sequence of house number!
This B & B is one of the many houses built on a long narrow ridge overlooking a vast plain of grazing field. Looking out from the little balcony of our room, one can have a stunning view of the vast green field down below. By evening, the twilight of the setting sun is equally mesmerizing.
We had great admiration for the only man of the house, John who runs this B & B. A man in his 60's, he has to do everything from A to Z all by himself. He told us he just took over this facility in March early this year.
He is also a man of taste judging from the Mazda MX-5 sports car he drives.
Stones fence is still being erected in the centuries-old way.
