The Magic of the English Lake District

Delicate wild violets...




pretty waterfalls...


The facade of Lowther castle ...




Little Salkeld Mill which is still a working flour mill - we always stock up on flour for bread making...it has a brilliant cafe serving home made organic lunches and delicious cake...




We had a wonderful week in the English Lake District and I always feel as though it is my spiritual home. My grandmother was born in Penrith and she always talked about it with much affection. The picture above is of my very favourite lake- Ullswater ...






there are always plenty of sheep..





and dry stone walls typify the beautiful scenery..




the loneliness of the fells especially Fusedale...





the tranquil Lake Derwentwater ...
