Gingerbread house.

This is the famous Grasmere gingerbread shop. The shop is tiny & believe me the queue was out through the gate when we passed it the second time.
I heard someone grumbling about the size of the shop which is tiny but that is all part of it's charm.
This is also where they make it & you could smell the gingerbread cooking.

It is a sort of biscuit, not spongy at all & quite a strong ginger taste.
I took some photos of the man & girl in the shop but the space was very cramped & the figures were blurry.

So charming! Love the roof and the ivy covered stucco. I imagine it smells divine for blocks around that marvelous little shop.

@peggysirk We bought two tins to take with us to NZ, I thought it would last for a while in a tin but the guy said one week..whats the point of having it in a tin!! Have taken it out & put it in the freezer on the chaps recommendation so hope its OK.!!! sorry Lesley if you read this , no surprise now!!!!!

@happypat I'm sure it will be fine in the freezer till you leave for NZ...then you can just pop it back in the tins and voila! :)

I love gingerbread too. The smell of gingerbread must be wonderful. A fairytale shop.

Never heard of this place - I want to go there.

That gingerbread is very unique, not at all what I expected when I bought some, still nice though. I love Grassmere too, fond memories of holidays long long ago.

Lovely one pat.........how odd we always think of gingerbread as being crisp!!........obviously not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rick Schies]

The size it what makes it so special, and the smell of gingerbread, oh yes, I love that aroma

My mouth's watering at the thought! I love that the shop is so small. I hesitate to say which nationality I think the complainer was! Great shot, Pat.
