England - Grasmere Phone Booth

Now that nobody uses a phone booth, every wonder what they did with those big red boxes in England?  An awesome assignment of purpose while preserving these historical emblems...

So this concludes the Grasmere series.  There is something else worth sharing about this little town, though the images captured of it weren't blogworthy, and that is the gingerbread.  The wife and I were watching The Great British Baking Show on Netflix and one of the episodes featured the world-famous gingerbread of Grasmere.  We were going to be here anyway so it was a no-brainer to give it a shot.  Andrew and I got in line on the day of the tour and bought some for everyone back home.  I honestly didn't think it was very good, but since it's one-of-a-kind and so world famous felt it worthy of the time and expense to bring some back home.  Turns out no one else thought it was very special either, but we all can say we've tried something uniquely English.
