As you know we went to the Lake District last week and we had absolutely stunning weather.
Here are a few photos:
We went on the steam ship Gondola on Coniston Water


and to a crowded beach

where ragwort grew in abundance on the sand dunes

and was covered with Cinabar Moth caterpillars
The next day we walked up to Finsthwaite High Dam



The next day we sweated up to Carron Grags in the Grisedale Forest

and saw this on our way up

Just in case you can't see it, it was this

Yes an Adder!
We had a lovely sun-baked time.
