As part of trying to resolve some performance problems on this site I got rid of the pictures in the header.Over the last couple of days I’ve put them back along with some new ones because some people commented that they missed them.
You might be wondering where some of them are, others are a bit more obvious:
This is San Francisco harbour.
This is Grasmere taken from a beach at the Rydal end. It was taken just before we went swimming on a lovely summer evening.
Lavender in our garden which is a favourite with the local bees.
Another garden picture.
On holiday in Italy we were at the top of the Tower of Pisa as the sun set. This is the view back towards the duomo.
A more local picture this time, taken at Cobble Hey gardens in the Through of Bowland.
From north west to north east, a lovely sunset taken from the beach at Banburgh.
One of my favourite places is Borrowdale in the Lake District.
More lake district, looking across Derwentwater towards Borrowdale.
One summer we decided to try out a Maize Maze. This was the sculpture in the middle.
More sculpture, this was on display at Chatsworth, and on sale – we decided not to ask about the price. They are contemporary terracotta warriors designed by Yue Min Jun.
Another sunset, this time at a local nature reserve called Brockhole.
More lake district and more swimming, this time it’s Buttermere, it’s late spring and the water hadn’t really warmed up yet.
From Lindisfarne looking back towards the mainland.
Finishing off with a view from the far north of Scotland at a little hamlet called Tarbet which is the place where you go to if you want to visit Handa island.
The pictures are configured so that you will get a random one for each page and post that you visit. If you want to see different ones then you need to click around a bit.
There are some others and I’m likely to update them from time to time.
