Colin at Wordsworth's House

We drove to Cockermouth and went to visit Wordsworths House.  A lovely Georgian townhouse.  It was the childhood home of William Wordsworth.  The staff there were dressed in costume.  A real fire was burning in the kitchen and they had cooked some cakes making it a very interesting visit.  The staff in the dining room told us how in 1700's it was considered scandulous for men and women to sit together at the dining table.  Men sat and one end and women at the other.  It wasnt until the 1800's that men and women sat together at the table.
