Ahhhh.....so she would then recognize my maiden name. Too bad I was the
only live *Bowness* in the area in 2004, grin. Shocked the heck out of the
Bowness-on-Windermere restaurant manager when I said "if I can prove I am a
Bowness, can I have a free dinner??" I did, he didn't.......must have been
a Scot. (G)

My ancestors..........and their not inconsiderable wealth......disappeared
in the early to mid 1850's. Bloody cheek!!

I thought so........Robin Hood was nowhere near Cumbria, lol. Now I will
have to check my handy map of England behind me.....still have all of your
names on yellow stickies on it.

Shane........you are a ditz!! It is well southeast of the *armpit of
england*........Stockport!! Not sure if it or Manchester were the worst.
The rest of England was excellent, except for those two weirdos that we
stayed with in Dorset........we still shake our heads over that one.

Hey Mikey.......when we win the lottery, we will come over and take YOU out
for dinner. Think Lizzie will have us over for tea?? Not likely, lol.

Sorry. Typo. Should have been 100 miles - though actually it's closer to 140
anyway. As for SW it would help if they didn't show us our island
misaligned, one consequence of which for me at least is that I've spent my
entire life having an instinctively incorrect notion of where the parts of
the UK are in that regard. I only really know which way I am looking because
of the direction of the sun or stars.

Though Mike is right, of course.

I see there's been a few answers since my last visit, g definitely a few
more than 10 miles away I'd say, I know the name Bowness in fact we had a
holiday in Bowness-on-Windermere a few years ago very enjoyable it was to, I
think it might have been the year before you went there.

2004, was that the year you met up with Noel and borrowed his phone to talk
to me ?

Yep......sitting in a pub in Chester, trying to learn the game for the
ongoing soccer finals. LOL. Noel came in....all in black with a wild
beard....and scared the locals half to death!! Only Ron and I knew he was a
big pussycat.......bwa ha ha.

My ancestors disappeared off the face of the earth. Got them back to the
early 1700's and we descend from one brother who went to Scotland and made
big bucks as a *mowdieman*. Testing your Scottish slang here.

Bowness-on-Windermere was really pretty. Bob and Jean (owners of our
Scottish ancestral home) took us to Whitehaven, then over a horrendous
mountain to Bowness. I needed 3 valiums for that one. Can't remember the
name.......Dead Man's Pass?? That's what I would have called it. Even the
sheep looked scared. (G)

Cheers........Heather

I think that would've been Hard Knott Pass, then Wrynose Pass.
