It looks similar to the weather we had for a camping holiday one August in the 1970s.  It finished me for camping for ever.  Nice cake in Kendal though. The swan has a slight list to port, and do you know, I have never heard of anyone having their arm broken by one of those birds, have you?    Report

Frenchie - those pictures bring back so many memories. Some bad such as the time it rained for 10 days nonstop, and we had to go home. Some good such as a boatride down Ullswater on a beautiful day. Our holidays were always in the Lakes for years, then changed to Scotland.    Report

I have the feeling the scenery matches the grey silvery romantic weather .. Maybe I'm the only one to have this feeling then ..... My partner and I thought " How good it would be to live here " when we were there last week .......  ( I'm French, he's English ..) Happy    Report

Lovely photo of Windermere. Part of my first honeymoon was spent near there. My favorite place has got to be Waste Dale and the pub at the Head!! I have even stayed at a temperance hotel there, The Screes. The top shelf behind the bar boasts of 100 single malts and if you can manage the top shelf, a shot from each in an evening, then they are free. So is the coffin I should think? John. The only difference between the men & the boys is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!    Report

Frenchie, though that photo is cold as steel, it is really beautiful.  Well done.  Have you got any more ?     animalaidsaintaubin.monsite.orange.fr/ Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful    Report

I like the silver water, and the majesty of the swan.. That trip to the Lakes was wonderful. Here you are Christine, and there ll be more to come .. Happy    Report
