What a busy trip this has been..................and now, just a few days before leaving, I'm trying to find a little time to organize some photos to share.......before you think I've fallen off the edge of the globe!
Leaving the seaside, we were soon on our way to Cumbria and the Lake District. It was showery but the sun popped out - this was the weather we were soon used to for the entire week. Fortunately the dry spells were more prevalent than the rain and it wasn't cold.
The Lake District..............truly one of the most beautiful areas of countryside I've ever seen.
Springtime, the perfect time to visit when these little guys were visible in the thousands, gamboling in the flower-filled meadows with the mysterious fells in the background.

We love the Lake District too hoping to visit in September. BUT rain, we haven't had any proper rain in Surrey for, well I cannot remember when we last had some it was so long ago.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have enjoyed your visit to the UK and haven't found too many changes for the worse??
Have a safe journey , love Jackie in Surrey, UK.
Mary, I'm so glad you have been in the Lake district. It is one of our favourite spots, and such beauty lies all around.
ReplyDeleteContinue to enjoy it all.
It is just lovely there, dear Mary. It would be a dream for me to be able to visit your homeland.
ReplyDeleteMary, it is all so lovely, and I love the last photo! I'd love to cuddle with it yet I don't think it would like that very much.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to meet new bloggers! I met one last weekend even though I was new to her blog. Then getting together with Paul and Babs must have made this a wonderful time. Can't wait to see more photos!
Have fun you two!
Take Care,
Ulrike
I think Cumbria is my favourite county despite the damp weather! I'm so pleased you are having such a fabulous time.

I didn't, for a moment, think you'd fallen off the face of the earth. I just knew that you'd be having the most wonderful time in England. There's be lots of time for posting in the weeks after your return.
ReplyDeleteI think that English lambs gambol, while our gallump.
Ahh! Blackpool Pleasure Beach in the rain, the memories came flooding back as I looked at your photos, Mary.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you're having a wonderful time, isn't it good to be home?

So glad you are having a marvelous time. Too bad about the rain, but that is what makes the English complexions so lovely, right?
ReplyDeleteMary, I've fond memories of our time spent in the Lake District, though it was many, many years ago. I do think a return to the countryside of GB is in order. Must move that to the top of the travel list. Safe journey home, my friend. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteWe live quite near to Pateley Bridge - on your signpost. Sadly we were away but otherwise we could have met up. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
ReplyDeleteMary, I can't believe your holiday is almost over. Beautiful pictures of the Lake District -one of my favorites. I love that little lamb at the end. Looking forward to more pics as you return home. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeletejust lovely I know you have had a marvelous time. Janet!
ReplyDeleteOh Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat magnificent photos of the Lake District.
I got very close to seeing it last year but as always time was at a premium for us and France and family were beckoning..... one day!
The light looks so beautiful and the hills such an interesting blue haze - stunning.
hugs

Love the photo of the lamb:) I'm hoping to get up to the Lakes later this summer, our other house is just along the coast from Blackpool but the only time I go there is passing through on the way to Lytham St Annes. I'm afraid that Blackpool isn't my kind of place:)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos. Such a pretty area.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth, but I am starting to return. Oh how I would love to visit the Lake District in the Spring. Sweet little sheep indeed.
ReplyDeleteDid you go to the Pennington castle in Cumbria. That's my maiden name. I have no idea if I'm related to those Penningtons but I like to think I am.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! You made me homesick and tht's not even my home! LOL.....Can't wait to see more photos.
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, I decided to come over to see if you fell off the face of the earth. Smile. I am thankful you are having a wonderful time in spite of the rain. Meeting some bloggers must have been fun and I know you enjoyed the time spent visiting with them.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are stunning. I love the lamb.
Come home safe.
Love you and miss you,
Jeanne
Your trip photos are bringing back happy memories for me...especially the Lake District. Such a beautiful place that is! I remember all the sheep too....I've never seen so many sheep in my life as we did all over England and Wales two summers ago!
