Amazing sight as we walked right by a pretty cottage garden today: saw a Kestrel take a sparrow from the bird table just 2m or so from us!
Tuesday 12 May 2015
Almost home. Quite surreal light as the sun makes one final effort to break through & is thwarted.
Tuesday 12 May 2015
Bluebells in the woods off Bog Lane... which didn't live up to it's name. Not boggy at all, despite all the rain! 
Tuesday 12 May 2015
Bridge over river Brathay on the way home. Pretty down by the water too. Turned out to be a lovely evening.
Tuesday 12 May 2015
Walking home after dinner. Some great light here... although it lasted but a second.

Last bridge into town after our windswept outing on Loughrigg Fell. Happy days!

Pics from today's spin around Windermere (no vantage point of the lake itself). Bloody cold & windy but great riding!

Great North Yorkshire views enroute to the lakes today. Pratiwi was oohing & ahhing! As I don't like pics without sun, obviously no pics!
