Carpets and Curtains

Lesson of the day.......

Always believe the shepherd, for he is wiser than the met office man.

Which would you do? Make curtains, or go for a walk?


We decided on a low level walk as there is a lot of snow on the Northern slopes of the fells. St John in the Vale is a lovely valley just east of Keswick. Famous for Castlerigg Stone Circle, which is where we started our walk (no pictures - too many tourisits!)

St Johns also boasts a Youth Hostel, just coming into view....


Behind which sits this beautiful little Church, built int 1813, and had it not been so inconvenient for family and friends, this would have been the site of a very important wedding in 2005!


The final stretch of the walk passes Tewitt Tarn, where we found some really healthy looking Fell ponies munching away happily.

Never mind. The Curtains can wait for a rainy day.
