Short walk around the park today, so as most shots have been taken before. Just a few random snaps on Today in Pictures.

1. That the way to a private bowling club.
2. If you know this, then you know your onions.
3. Over this four times then its on with the walk.
4. Along this first.
5. Its a leaf.
6. A bramble on my ramble.
7. Ahoy shipmates.
8. Avast behind

thats all I have today.

I hope picture number 5 finds its way onto your Flickr page. It is a lovely study of texture.

I have to say I was disappointed with myself today, but if you want it , you got it.

Margaret Pilkington · 27-06-2012, 19:59

I see absolutely no reason why you should be disappointed. There are some lovely pictures there.

I was probably hoping for something I hadn't seen before, or perhaps I was just that way out.

I think they are all good pics -especially No. 5 as Margaret said. You must have been having a negative karma moment

Tried to post these yesterday but had a very unstable connection and gave up in the end...here's hoping today is better.

These are some photos i took in April in and around the village of Dacre near Lake Ullswater -a lovely backwater with a great pub! My 2nd fave house is the one with the smart topiary!

Margaret Pilkington · 28-06-2012, 11:43

Beautiful pics Dianne.......they should be on flickr...they would get lots of 'hits'.
Love them all but my favourites........and I can't choose between them, have to be the window, and the white house...pic number 5.

Did you come in the Summer we had , the pics are very sunny. Doesn't it make the photos better with a bit of sunlight. I think Margaret is a director ( with shares in Flickr) as she has mentioned to post on Flickr.

Thanks Margaret -the white house is gorgeous, the view up the lane is to the side of it!It has an orchard to other side of it with proper raspberry canes under nets!

It's a close choice between that house and the one I'm posting now which is Water Nook House on Ullswater at Howtown

(This one is up for sale at the moment -am saving like mad

)

The first 5 were taken in April as i wandered lonely as a cloud

from Pooley Bridge to Howtown - had a picnic on the beach below the house - it's private but i like to flout the rules sometimes! Got me away from the hoardes of Geordies who were everywhere for their Easter hols!

The last one was summer 2 years ago.

I know summer has come and gone over there already this year - this was one of the lovely days in April -to prove it I'll post some pics looking across Ullswater beyond Gowbarrow Fell towards Hellvelyn and Striding Edge which are in cloud -where there was snow -there was a real nip in the air!

By the way as i write I'm sweltering and keep moaning about the excessive heat and relentless sunshine here in Italy - we're up at 34°C and it's been like this for 2 weeks -we're due for a torrid spell to start this weekend and it may be going up to 40°C -not pleasant to live in believe me! Much prefer a sunny day in England in April

No, I have no professional/financial links with Flickr. I just think it is a good way to showcase these lovely shots. To let others see the beauty of places.
Places that we sometimes take for granted, but that someone elses viewpoint makes us re-assess how lovley our country is.
The other thing is...if your computer ever crashes, and you lose everything - these pics will still be there.

The house does look lovely - I hope you have a very large piggy bank. I don't suppose you would get that at a knock down price.

It would be hard for me to choose....I like the thought of being by water......but I do like the white house....and orchards......they would seal the deal.
