My Birthday
We went on a lovely walk to Helton, on the moor above Pooley Bridge and I got chance to play with my new long lens (best birthday present ever, from Lee).
Loving the School Holidays
The children and I enjoyed a rare (in fact, I think the first ever) proper day out together, just the three of us. I normally feel bad taking them places without someone else (Lee or my parents) because it seems…
Woodland Walks
We had another lovely walk hunting for geocache in Gelt Woods, near Brampton, and I couldn't resist showing you this picture of Ben, peeping out at me. It's a great walk in the wood there - water, trees, flowers, birds...…
Blencathra (apparently)
Another glorious walk today, although the weather was more grey and murky, than the blazing sunshine we enjoyed last weekend. We took the boat across Derwentwater, and walked a couple of miles between High Brandlehow and Hawes End, stopping along…
Castle Crag, Borrowdale

We had a lovely walk around Tarn Hows today, at Ben's request, and he only grumbled half the time! There were some lovely views, and I had an attempt at water (again). One day I might get there. In the…
What A View!

Waterfalls
I attempted to photograph water today, by myself, on my camera. The results aren't great, but it could have been worse. We had a lovely walk regardless of my photographic success, or lack of.
Ice Tobogganing 30th January 2011
What a lovely day we (well, I) had today. We went to Blea Tarn with the boys, and although there was one ever so slight disagreement, we all eventually made it, without anyone being carried (we didn't use the route…
Waterfalls
Okay, okay, I know it's more of a trickle than a waterfall, but it's the first time I have managed to make the water look a bit cool, and I am quite pleased with it. I know it's far from…
