Yesterday’s walk up Prison Band via the Thriddle Incline, Black Sails and Wetherlam. Although not visible to my camera lens, the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales were clearly visible to the naked eye.

Sunday walk up to Glaramara summit from Seatoller and back down the Hind Ghyll path to Seathwaite. From the top could be seen the hills of Galloway in southern Scotland, Snae Fell on The Isle of Man, and Ingleborough in The Yorkshire Dales. Not forgetting virtually the whole of The Lake District.

✨Ambleside Christmas lights switch on is back....TOMORROW is the big day that Santa rides the ferry up the lake then parades through town to the big moment of him turning the lights on....with magic dust apparently 🧐 😉🌈🙌🥳
⛅️The weather is looking good and the fireworks are going to be epic after the lantern parade....and I know you’re all excited to see Ian the Christmas tree here at the Deli....the shabbiest potted tree around! He is a rescue tree so be kind 👍🏻🤩💕
We will be ready for you,Mulled wine will be mulling,along with a nonalcoholic one too.....hot pies, soup and other pastries, plus all the usual goodies in the deli counter x
