There is one day-hike from Grassmere that has some horizontal among the vertical, and that is to Easedale Tarn (a tarn is a small lake). We all walked out there today. Along the way, we were joined by a Polish woman who now lives in England. She originally came as an au pair, stayed for a couple of years, returned to Poland, and then came back to work in England. She was grateful for the company and we very much enjoyed her.
At dinner that night, our waitress had an interesting accent. When we asked her what it was she invited us to guess. We made lots of tries but were unsuccessful. It turns out she was from Romania. Like quite a number of service people here, she was in the UK in a program to learn the hospitality industry, and was shortly going to return to Romania. We speculated that eastern European nations are hoping to develop as tourist attractions and young people are going to established places to learn the trade.
