KESWICK. A Rainy Day In Hope Park.
While I’m not a great fan of getting wet there is sometimes a bit of magic to be had walking amongst the flowers on a rainy day.

It has been a cool, drizzly day in Keswick but after the Sorchio weather at the beginning of the week that’s no bad thing. For all that it’s been another pleasant day in the Lake District. Here’s some of the fruits of a couple of hours wandering.

It’s a preserved line, running over part of the track bed that used to connect Lake Windermere with the rail route to Lancaster and Barrow in Furness. In it’s full glory it would have been a fantastic tourism asset as well […]
