Night Creatures
Winter Time in the Lakes As we get closer to the Winter solstice the nights are still getting longer and it makes me think of Summer with a real sense of longing. Some times I end up taking the dog out when it is dark. Thankfully I haven’t tripped over and broken anything yet. The […]
The Last Rose
A Final Flourish in the Lakes Coming round the corner of the house I came across this beautiful solitary white rose. At that moment it was still a bud and then inevitably, a few days later, it bloomed as you see it here. I say inevitably, but in November I think to find a perfect […]
Windy Miller
Still Bright and Breezy in the Lakes I might be showing my age now but I can’t remember whether it’s “Trumpton” or the other one. They don’t make animation quite like that any more and I should think if I saw it again I would think it is of its time. However in our house […]
Autumn Winds and Stormy Weather
We are having problems with the website this month so I have not been able to write my blog and even now I can’t upload pictures. Modern technology is all very well, but some times I miss pen and paper. This month has been full of weather, various storms have battered us and caused a […]
Deja vu, Well No Not really.
Never the same view twice in the Lakes. I often walk in the same places, some times day after day. Shadow never seems to care so long as she is able to charge around and play fetch the ball. She is only 15 months old but she has really got the hang of it now […]
Where are the Rain Gods when you need them?
Sun, sun, go away? But do come back another day. (The day after tomorrow would be perfect). The British are obsessed with the weather, bu we have good reason. If you live in Dubai, the weather would not be a fruitful topic of conversation. Since coming home 8 years ago my deep seated interest for […]
Weather you like it or Weather you don’t.
Heatwave in the Lake District. Well what to do? It’s sunny again. You open the curtains in the morning and it’s just like yesterday and the day before. In fact you don’t have to open the curtains to know what the weather is doing because the sun is so bright it fights its way through […]
Gone Fishing in The Lake Fishtrict
Fishing for fish on the River Eden? Not likely, just for fun. What do you think of, when you think of the Lake District? – fells, walking, lush greenery, lakes, becks, ghylls, rivers, water, sailing, rain of course. However for some, fishing is the thing: for it is not a sport, a hobby, a […]
Sunny May
Summer has Come Early In the Lake District We were lucky enough to visit Porto this month and what a beautiful place it is. In fact in many ways it reminded me of home – very hilly and it rained- a lot! The weather was better here in the Lake District than the north of […]
Highgate House
HuttonJohn Estate’s Third Holiday Let in the Lake District Highgate is now finished and live on the Lakelover’s website. I have so many people to thank for turning it into a spectacular holiday home. There was so much work that needed doing and I think the result will be a real home away from home […]
