Tuesday was glorious spring day so we went up to Ullswater to seek out Wordsworth's daffodils. The story goes that he was walking back down Ullswater with his sister Dorothy when they came to Glencoyne Bay (just past Aira Force going South). Dorothy recorded the event in her diary and it is thought that it was the inspiration for the famous poem. They are certainly very beautiful.
We then went further up the lake to the North and walked up to Aira Force. On the way we passed proof that money can grow on trees. Well almost. This tree which is on the way up to the waterfal from the National Trust car park is studded with coins left there by passing visitors.
The waterfall itself was in full force and it was suprisingly busy - well OK it was school holidays and a lovely day.
There was lovely view of Ullswater on the way back. The Lake District looks different as the seasons change, and these rather spare and dramatic views will soon give way to a countryside covered in the new green.
