Back home again

What a great week - the weather was glorious, with not a drop of rain. Our cottage was almost at the top of the dale and had splendid views of the surrounding fells. This is it, seen from across the fields.

This is just one of the pictures I took, showing Ashness Bridge, with Derwentwater behind and Skiddaw looming in the background.

Although the Lake District mountains are not as high as, say, the Alps, they are a little more impressive than those two pictures suggest. This picture of Langdale is perhaps more truly representative.
