"Strands' My dear H So far we have carried out our programme, we are about 1 1/2 miles from 'Windsor Farm' Nether Wasdale. We did Wrynose and Hard Knott in good weather & had a nice time in Eskdale. I hope you are doing alright without me. I'm feeling much better and sleeping very well. Love -name unclear-”

Date Posted: The card is sent from 'Strands', presumably the present 'Strands Inn'- which ties in with the reference to being near Windsor Farm.
