The Lake District - Snow

You probably realise by now, that if there's any sign of snow, we break out the camera. Well luckily for us, the snow fell on our second day in the Lakes... not great weather for sight-seeing, but it beats the rain at least.

Let's start with a bit of snowy scenery






That's a pub through the trees, called the Alfred Wainwright. He's actually quite famous in these parts and there's documentaries about him on the BBC all the time - Google him!



More cold sheep


This is the pub where we had lunch. It was nestled under a group of fells called the Langdale Pikes, which are apparently quite spectacular (when you can actually see them). The pub was nice... open fire, food, beer, pool table.... all the essentials.


This was the pub next door, where we didn't go for lunch, but looks more photogenic.


And here we are at Tarn Hows, which is another lake (there's a lot of them round here actually). The cool thing was it was frozen.




Caiti took this one... we're impressed.


Boat on Lake Windermere... we were testing out the superzoom on the camera when we took this one.


No snow in this one, it's true, but this is where Beatrix Potter lived. The cottage is called Hilltop - quite possibly because it's located on top of a hill


This is the view of the village from her place. Lovely.
