Baa-ck Soon

Summer has arrived and like this curious sheep we have all taken our layers off, but of course nature does that for her.

I am off for a week's holiday in the Howgill Fells which is not very far from here in the Lake District, about fifty miles.  Wainwright describes it as "a stepping-stone between Lakeland and the north western Yorkshire Dales".  Weather of course is unpredictable so I may come back with blue sky photos or an atmospheric watery misty grey.  If the latter I may find time to resume my reading challenge which has slipped by the wayside in the last month.

The gorse is now in its full bright yellow flower everywhere.  The blue on these sheep denotes they are a hardy fell sheep, used to roaming the hills.
