Travelling back home to Coniston this afternoon, I just had to stop and get a quick phone shot. 😊

It is the first day of meteorological spring tomorrow, so I went looking for it this afternoon on the shores of Coniston.

High levels of water in the lake, low light levels and a gusty wind. Just a normal winters day in Coniston.

I think Ms Mitchel must have been to Coniston at sometime.

Even on a dark, damp day, I couldn’t resist a quick phone shot from The Terrace at Brantwood this morning.

It’s a beautiful area. I just try to do it justice with my camera 😊

Very much a roots route.

Reform pledge to scrap the Equality act.

If they do so you can be discriminated against or abused at work, in education or in the public.

For Age, Disability, Gender reassignment, Marriage status, Pregnancy, Race, Religion. Sex or Sexual orientation.

Doesn't sound good to me.

Very true. It’s humble appearance disguises its importance. The atmosphere and significance are lost in a mere two dimensional image, but I find the interior offers some different photo options 😊

A cold day in Coniston, but at least the snow stayed on the hills… for now.

Ratcliffe is making it difficult for me to continue my 60 years + support for the club, but I hang onto the fact that his inaccurate outburst is at odds with the club’s stated policy on racism and the hope that his tenure is brief.

Your pictures of Normandy look very soothing. I love exploring the D Day beaches, but have yet to visit Mt St Michel 😊
