Many thanks Colin. 👍

A late afternoon wander above Tewet tarn and over to St John’s-in-the-Vale church. Cold wind but gorgeous views. 😎🥶

Beautiful start to Boxing Day; looking over Derwentwater as the early sunshine lit up Catbells.

One day 🤞

Thanks John and all the best to you at Christmas. My dad’s father died when he was five also, leaving dad as the eldest of three brothers in the 30’s. Tough period but he never complained about his life. 👍

Thanks Colin 👍

Good to see a happy time line today Alex. Five years ago today my dad sadly died. We have the happy memories that it was a life lived to the full and he stuck to what he commonly said ‘Give more than take.’ 🥲 Enjoy every moment with those you love. 👍

Much appreciated Colin. 👍

Cheers Jill. Just taking an online course in Long Exposure photography so trying out some use of filters.

Did you mean arty or miss a letter?🤣

I put a ND filter on to make it a long exposure so that the fisherman walking over the water looked almost ghost like.

There is a research programme that has an effective contraceptive for squirrels; the problem is how to get the Greys to take it in a bait that cannot be got by other species. Several years off becoming a reality I suspect.

Thanks Jill; I so wish they could find a way to eradicate, or severely limit the Greys.

Appreciated Colin; nice to hear from you. 👍

Thank you Sue.

Our beautiful, native red squirrels at Shap; not to be confused with the invasive grey squirrel. The reds are increasingly in decline, mainly from squirrel pox spread by the greys.

Cold & frosty, but not slippery; rather nice. 😎

Another beautiful morning along the shores of Derwentwater this morning.

Much appreciated 👍
