The Lakes actually looked dramatic with this layer of mist hanging over the water.
The sun soon appeared and all signs of frost and mist had soon disappeared.
Today a visit to Tarn Hows and a visit to an Art Deco house in Boweness.
Tarn Hows near Hawkshead was another amazing place to visit. Not seen as one of the 'Lakes' but spectacular all the same, the views were stunning with still loads of snow about adding to the atmosphere.
Car parked and off we toodle for a walk, about two miles easy walking. The Tarn was created by one man and man made, not a force of nature. This gentleman loved pine trees and every tree here at the Tarn were planted by him except for the self seeders of course. The walk made more magical by the sighting of a flock of waxwings, nice.
After a drive to Boweness and a welcome lunch at a local cafe bar we then visited Blackwell House famous as an Art Deco house. Quality of work etc know denying was exceptional but does not rock my boat sadly.
Finished the day by a walk around Boweness before the short drive back to the Travellers Rest.
Lamb and veg tonight washed down with some local ale and then coffee with Bob and Catherine with further stories from our period at Reading University.
Has been truly a blast of a holiday covering the Dales and Lakes, sadly home tomorrow.
