We
are staying in the Lake District on a pre-Christmas Break. Yesterday saw a window
in the weather that we took advantage of to drive into the hills. The sun came
out and the clouds gradually lifted over the snow capped Cumbrian Mountains. As
we approached the bottom of Coniston Water there was a rainbow over the top of
the Lake. Unfortunately it is not quite visible in the photo that I took.
We
stopped for coffee at the Bluebird Café right on the edge of the lake, it was
full of light so the sun shone right onto Marion’s back. The lake was very
placid here with almost no activity so that it was possible to imagine the ill-fated
water speed record attempt by Donald Campbell. This of course took place at
this time of year.
Unfortunately
as we left the sun slipped behind the clouds and it was back to damp grey
weather. However we had had a tantalising view of the beauty of the Lake
District.
