I have just read Hugo's latest walking post and he says what a difference seven days make.
Well for us this weekend what a difference two days make.
We have been to the Lake District this weekend. These photos were taken yesterday. Today it was raining so hard we decided to leave after breakfast and head home.
We were staying at Armathwaite Hall near Bassenthwaite Lake. We hadn't been there since our honeymoon in 1984!
The old hall hadn't changed but they have built a massive new spa complex in the grounds.
Yesterday we went to Derwentwater and took a ride on the lovely passenger boat that you can see in the photo. You can get on and off wherever you like on the lake.
We got off at one stop and walked around on a lovely path to the Lodore Falls hotel where we had sandwiches and a drink and then took the boat back to Keswick.

some great photos in yours and Hugo's posts, the autumn colours make all the difference to the photos

Apart from the water and scenery, the Lake District has some great driving roads.  My Car Club's Annual Megameet was in the Lakes this year, and it was a great week-end of fabulous driving.  I also say the same about North Wales where it was held two years ago!

Beautiful photos - and there are truly some great driving roads in the Lake District. Last year we hired a car and made a tour stopping off at Windermere, Grasmere,Buttermere and on to Cockermouth. We had a wonderful time and actually managed to see some sun. We're planning another trip towards the end of the summer and so will look forward to those wonderful roads and beautiful landscapes once more.
