Travel theme: Shine – Last week, in celebration of my birthday (nothing significant, one of many), we drove over Hartside Pass, down into Penrith, across to Keswick and south to Borrowdale. The sun shone the whole time which disproves the theory that it shines only on the righteous 🙂
We had one night in the perfectly located Borrowdale Hotel, walked, ate, drank and were merry before returning home the next day. A short and sweet break in a fine location – much quieter than Ambleside:

Ah, lovely! Great scenery, nice and peaceful!
It is a lovely corner Sue – I am sure we will go back. We looked at the price for Christmas breaks which sounded very tempting, the price less so 😦
Prices at Christmas anywhere are never good….
Wonderful shots, my fav is the cows. And I wish you a very Happy Happy, though belated birthday!
Many thanks Cate – my favourite too, something of the prairie about it.
Wow, that looks like a stunning part of the soft green earth….and I love seeing the cows in the river. Great photos of what looks like a great wee trip 🙂
It was a grand day out (well, two) – a very nice part of the lakes – I recommend it.
Gorgeous Robin! I love the image of the cows in the water-very pastoral and serene-
Many thanks Meg – they timed their crossing just right 🙂
Wonderful images, Robin!!!
Many thanks Malin, as always, much appreciated.
I forgot… happy belated birthday (even if it’s one of many). 🙂 Hugs from Sweden.
Thanks Malin 🙂 ❤
Happy Belated Birthday, young man. I know those parts and agree that you made a wise choice to stay there instead of Ambleside.
Thank you, thank you – “young man” – you are now one of my very favourite people 😀 ❤
Happy belated birthday 😉
Many thanks Tine – just one more of many, but who is counting 🙂
Beautiful … and, even if you’re not counting them anymore, happy belated birthday! (I’m with you on that non-counting sentiment! 🙂 )
Many thanks Cindi – I am getting to the stage when I cannot, or maybe choose not, to remember so there are some upsides 🙂
Lovely peaceful scenes, Robin. Especially like no. 3 🙂
Thanks Jo, it is a wonderful spot on a wonderful day.
