Many people, both from overseas and the UK itself, visit the Lake District on their holidays - but I was lucky enough to live there for almost five years. It's a place that is very special to me.
It was inevitable that I would revisit the place on my recent return to the UK.
Memories abound.
One late morning we went for a walk along the bottom of Langdale - a very well known glacial valley near the tourist heart of The Lakes. Many years ago, I used to take school groups walking in this area and while its not back of the hand territory, it was (and still is) very familiar.
We walked slowly and talked and talked with a friend we had not seen in many years. We eat chocolate, Eccles Cakes, but no flask coffee.
I miss the place.
You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteHow could you NOT! I want to go there RIGHT NOW!!!! This is so beautiful...reminds me of Connemara in Ireland which I fell in love with. Fantastic photos! What a lovely afternoon you must have had there.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place to wander Stewart...
ReplyDeleteI can see why you miss it! The landscape is stunning, and you've photographed it like one who loves it.
ReplyDeleteWow! How beautiful...one could get lost there willingly...in the mind with one's thoughts, I mean.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And it's nice to see all that green! (It's winter here.)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The topography reminds me of our low mountains. Now I'm wondering if glaciers may have helped form the range in our area.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely; I wish we'd been able to see more of the UK than just London. Sigh .... so many places, ......
ReplyDeleteVery nice scenery. I was born in Cumbria (and grew up in nearby Lancashire), I know the Lakes very well. Hope to go there next spring in fact.........
