My Lake District Year
Another year is nearly over, and so a good time to do a round up of the year.
JANUARY brought heavy snow at the end of the month.

This Herdwick was happy chewing some straw and contemplating the snowy world around.

Grasmere Sports Field
With snow on the tops the Lake District looked beautiful.

MARCH and Spring appeared in the form of snowdrops.

NOVEMBER nights drawing in but some nice clear days.
Sandscale Haws
Moody Grasmere
DECEMBER probably payment for a nice Summer but it seems to have rained non stop this month. No worry about snow for Christmas guests arriving but worry about floods and high winds.

We have had the odd stunning day in amongst the rain.
