Me and my new best friend Bruce. He follows me everywhere.
Outside this farm there is a little shelter made out of a tree trunk.
A lovely Gelder Rose in the hedgerow
Looking over the fields to the estuary. We have got into the nice habit of walking before breakfast and with the weather being so hot its the best time of the day to walk.
I love the lovely English country lanes
Part of the walk was through fields and we also had to climb over walls made as stone stiles
Lake District hills in the distance
Our final field on Sunday morning.
Gaye in Cartmel on Monday afternoon. It was much quieter than at the weekend.
The lovely stream going through Cartmel
We visited Arnside early Monday afternoon. We used to take Jean Weatherstone there to see Vic and Lillian Grey about 15 years ago. The train was heading for Lancaster.
We had hoped the tide would have been in but it was not to be. It is quite spectacular when it comes in like a tidal bore. We waited almost an hour and no trains crossed and then one suddenly appeared.
The village of Arnside
It's much more spectacular when the tide is in.
This was our walk on Monday morning
The same stream that passes through Cartmel
The farmers have a good crop of silage
More Silage and fields to cross at the edges
Lovely country lanes
I planned our morning walks on my OS App and it means we never get lost as long as you get a signal you are ok. In England it is all on rights of way and they are usually well signposted but these ones were not marked with arrows, but well used so easy to follow. If you stray of the proper route then laws of trespass come into force and the farmers hate people crossing their land. In Scotland we can go anywhere as long as we walk responsibly.
