Sat. 3rd Nov. 2012
Welcome from Lancashire and our Pendle Hill which is always prominent in our local landscape. I captured this shot from Towneley Park in Burnley in the late afternoon sunshine before the onset of a heavy shower.
On the 22nd October we returned to the Lake District for 5 nights in our motor home on the Camping & Caravan Site on the shore of Derwentwater in Keswick
A perfect pitch with the views over Derwentwater
I never tire of the lake district and I've walked around the area for over 55 years. Now that the wild flowers and orchids have finished for the year there's now the autumn colours which are coming up to their best, I think it's been the best show for several years.
On the Tuesday we caught the local bus up to Rosthwaite in Borrowdale and walked back to Keswick via Watendlath Tarn.
