Great photos as always John:bowdown:

I reckon the raw water strainers/weed filters will be working overtime on those narrow boats ;)

Lovely pics John.

Thank you John for braving the weather and for taking the time in taking these nautical landscapes full of detail and colours. Your photos never disappoint.

Following on from above location, the magnificent Bassenthwaite Lake shines in all her Autumn glory as we head down a carpet of golden leaves on the narrow pathway leading down to the Lake.

Owing to large amounts of rainfall the water level is much higher in these views compared to views from the same location in p769 page 77 from 8th November, with some trees standing in water where normally the shore line is. 17th November 2023.

Wonderful set of photos as always.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both :christmas::new_year:

Unlike many other parts of the country, we haven't had much in the way of frost or snow around our part of the country over the festive period [loads of wind & rain] I thought I would round off the end of 2023 with a selection of very festive looking scenes from Bassenthwaite Nr Keswick taken 15th December 2022.

With this Jan & I would like to wish everyone a very Happy, Healthy & Peaceful 2024.

Best Wishes.....John & Jan. :smiley::Mrs_Claus::new_year:

Super photos John, you never fail to disappoint. Thank you for sharing.

I heard you were in hospital and had stents fitted, a difficult time for you and Jan. Hopefully you are on the road to recovery and looking forward to the spring, summer and warmer weather.

If it’s any consolation I was in Coronary Care in Bristol just before Christmas with 2nd degree heart block and I am now doing okay, it’s something I have to learn to live with. Apparently it’s very common.

We must count ourselves lucky we received the best of care.

How are you?

Best wishes

Philip and Jessica
