Ash Tree Cottage escaped the December floods unscathed. They certainly knew how and where to build houses in the Seventeenth Century! The cottage is still warm, dry and cosy.
Actually, most of Ambleside escaped the flooding. Shops, businesses, pubs and restaurants are all open for business as usual.
The main road to Keswick ( the A591) was washed away near Thirlmere, just North of Grasmere. Work continues to repair it.
