Buttermere

While we were in the UK's Lake District we went for a bit of a walk near Buttermere - in good weather its a wonderful place, and it's pretty good in dismal weather too.

Unfortunately the weather on our walk was at the dismal end of the spectrum!  Oh well - the sausage rolls in the cafe were mighty fine!










Hard to think we were walking in this place when so much of Australia is on fire.

You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday.   Cheers. SM

    By Jove, your young fellow is transforming into a fine young man! I was thinking about you in the Lakes as we watched and heard from connections down below. A cousin has just taken off to be with her family in Melbourne. All my near and dear have remained safe at this point - though a little too close for comfort in some parts. If only you could pack some of that UK climate and transport with you. YAM xx

  2. In all of the beautiful corners of the UK, the Lake District surely has to be ranked in the top five. Hamish is morphing into a young man right before our eyes.

  3. Beautiful in its dreariness..Love the woodsy colors in the first picture..Your son is becoming quite the handsome young man..So sad about the fires in Australia..Sounds very similar to California..Probably a larger area?? I hope the weather clears up for you..Sausages!! Was that your pork for the New Year??

  4. Dreary is beautiful too...just not as pleasant to experience! The lake photos look very much like a lake in Mammoth Lakes CA...similar shore line and mountain rim!

  8. Despite the cloudy skies, the spot has its charm. How are things for you there in Australia? Smoke in your eyes?

  10. I’ve been missing a while and actually came by to “check on you” because of the terrible fires, not good enough in my geography to know where you are in relation to them (I mean when you are home of course). Glad you and your family are safe and enjoying a great holiday away and pray that the fires are soon contained.

  13. Wszyscy współczujemy Australii! To jest dramat dla całego świata!
    Masz rację! Ciężko podziwiać takie cudne brytyjskie krajobrazy, kiedy Australia płonie!
