I always have a week in the Lakes each year, staying at Esthwaite Farm More, and more recently Broomriggs More, near to Near Sawrey which was home to Beatrix Potter.  There are many favourite walks I like to do More, and all of these images were taken on those walks. The walking comes first - the images are just a bonus.

Some of these images have featured in Amateur Photographer Magazine's Readers Gallery

I have read and heard many descriptions of The Lake District, but my favourite is the one by Griff Rhys Jones from his "Mountain" series where he describes the Lake District simply as:

 "a pocket of paradise"

Images Of Lakeland

 

I need to be able to get away.  No matter how much I enjoy my everyday life: I still need that something else; something to think about when I have a quiet moment to myself.

I have a chance to do just that; a chance to go to a place where it is possible to get away from it all.  Just to be able to wander about.  To be in God’s landscape as it was meant to be.  Where I can clear my mind, and get everything into a true perspective.  Where I can look down on the land from above and get the great satisfaction of being on top.  But, like everything, there has to be an end and I have to come back.

I need a reminder to bring back with me; to remind me of where I have been and what I have seen: to keep everything fresh in my mind.
