In Rainbows

It seems to have rained all year so far! One thing I do notice though is that you get a lot of beautiful views as a result up here. The rain actually suits the landscape if that makes any sense. This misty view is taken from the dog field at the bottom end of the park.

Later the same day we went to Ambleside and the sun came out briefly giving us yet another stunning rainbow. They never seem quite so vivid on the photos I take of them as they are in real life!

Anyway - don't let anyone tell you that there is going to be a drought this year!

Happy New Year

We had a fantastic New Year up at Limefitt! The party was completed by the firework display at the Mortal Man at midnight. Well done Nigel!

It's been a great year, even though the weather, which was so promising at Easter made the rest of the year a bit dismal!

In spite of this our guests all seem to have had a great time, judging from the visitor's book.

Here's a picture that sums up the year for me! Beautiful but wet!

End of the year

Well in spite of some pretty wet weather we managed some pleasant walks in December. Just before Christmas we had great fun on
a cold day. The picture on the left is a plant taken through a sheet of ice that TT picked up. His idea to take the picture.




We also saw some lovely green lichen on a dry stone wall, but this picture doesn't really do it justice - it was electric green!






We saw a beautiful view of boats on Windermere but it was so still that I can't imagine that they were having as much fun as we were!
