The weather has been a bit mixed this week but even in the rain this place is magnificent as you can see from these pictures!

On yesterday’s walk we went through Troutbeck and took this picture of Jesus Church in the frost. Jesus Church Troutbeck – New Year 2009 Yes, it was quite cold A bit later on we saw Windermere, clearly frozen in the distance Windermere frozen on a Winter afternoon [...] New Year’s Eve was bitterly cold and when we woke up this morning the park was covered in hoar frost. Hoar Frost on a silver birch tree It was so cold that part of Trout Beck had started to freeze! What a day for a New Year walk! The freezing river pool [...] The BBC has a new weather page in Beta which looks quite attractive. Here’s what it looks like: BBC Weather – Windermere

It has rained a bit of late and even the ducks have been taking refuge on the roofs! Still – it has been said that “There’s no such thing as bad weather in the Lake District – Just the wrong sort of clothing”.
Today we have had hail and rain and sun – a real mixture. When the sun came out a few minutes ago the roofs of the lodges all began to steam – it looked quite surreal.
