Upon arrival our hostess was wonderful to us. She offered to make us dinner there that night, which we were glad to do. This lodge was a very large old home renovated and our rooms were very nice. The kids were enthralled by the two horses they had in the back pasture, as well as the next door neighbor’s dog and 2 puppies. We all sank into sleep VERY early that night - 9:30 or so, which, that being 4:30 ET is quite amazing. The kids were still sleeping when we woke up around 10:30 the next morning, which anyone who knows us well knows is earth-shattering! We were served a full breakfast to order - wonderful! We chilled out in the rooms for a while, then decided to go out for a walk late afternoon and get food in the nearby town for dinner.
The road immediately out from the lodge had no sidewalk and plenty of traffic, so we were being very careful with the kids. At one part of the road, Philip, holding Bill’s hand stepped into the grassy side, and fell into some stinging nettles. He lost his shoe, so Bill had to fish that out and got stung all on his arm. So both Bill and Philip had these stinging bumps up and down their arm. We watched them carefully as they swelled up, but then decided they were in no immediate danger. So on we went, soon hitting a nice safe sidewalk, and walking into the town center. There were a variety of restaurants, all of which were closed until 6pm. The only thing open was a fish and chips place. We first went to the pharmacy and bought some cream recommended for stinging nettle and smeared that on Philip and Bill. Then it was lots of fried food for dinner. It appeared as though there was an award winning Thai restaurant in Rothwell, but we just couldn’t wait until 6 to eat. After walking home, we sat in the garden while the kids ran around and waited for our baggage - that came around 7:30pm.

You better get used to eating dinner late! :)
What you have to do is get in the habit of having 'tea time'. That will help get you through to dinner time. It's the same way in Spain. It's not unusual (at least in Spain), for people to wait to eat dinner until 9 or 10 oclock.
I've decided that it's probably just a good idea to eat all through the day..... : )
