RAINY DAYS IN THE LAKE DISTRICT

Rain, glorious rain! Here are the outdoor swimmers at Windermere, fields of daffodils with their heads bowing and speckled with raindrops, a stranded wooden sailboat, tourists under umbrellas in beautiful Kendal, Bowness-on-Windermere queueing for boats, a canoe paddling down a flooded road, an image of the day Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite almost became one with the fields inbetween flooded, benches left festooned with debris and leaves after catching the full force of a flood, a beautiful rainbow over Blelham Tarne, a flooded Stone Circle, rain-washed Martindale with a lady watercolour artist capturing the scene, cyclists making tracks along muddy paths and mud, mud, glorious mud at sheepdog trials and festivals. Lots of outdoor activities like sailing, picnics, camping, fishing, hiking, boating, all slightly soggy under the Lake District's vast rolling skies. A colour (!) photography book with a sense of humour and a difference, one for all Brits who just love our weather.
