The Slack, Ambleside, Cumbria
The Slack is a narrow alleyway that runs from the old market place and behind the main road of the town. It passes through the Queens Hotel, an imposing Victorian hotel, which is visible in the drawing. We had dinner one evening at Sheila's Cottage which is tucked away behind the hotel. I was asked to stop sitting on a low wall to draw by a householder who told me "it's not safe, as a wagon has bin backed into it".
