Tuesday 19 May 2015

When one is in London, one must partake in dinner in Mayfair, darling. Pies & beer & silliness at The Windmill. Yum!

Friday 15 May 2015

Sitting by t' river outside the Lowther in York. Sun is shining. Beer is cold. Geese & goslings are wondering about - cute! Life is good! smile

Friday 15 May 2015

Some sights of York before lunch by the river while entertained by local wildlife. Then short stroll on walls. Nice!

Friday 15 May 2015

Pre-dinner stroll. Found a canal right next to our home for the night. Nice and relaxing... ahhhhh... smile

Afternoon tea in Betty's, Harrogate.

Red Screes hike. Views almost to the coast, down to Ambleside & lake Windermere. Think we were bit lucky to stay dry!

Tuesday 12 May 2015

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! wink

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!

Hiking on Loughrigg Fell. Challenging light for pics. Flat as a pancake... unlike the hike. Was blowing a gale too!

Tuesday 12 May 2015

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

Monday 11 May 2015

Walk into town deserves a treat, right? Beers & dinner in the White Lion, Ambleside. Challenging, but I managed wink tongue
