What a difference a week makes

This was the view this morning as we walked alongside the river Kent near Staveley.  Normally slow moving and stately, it was quite a torrent today after all the recent rain.

And then some rather cold and hungry looking sheep.

Compared to just a week ago, when we had a great cold, crisp and perfectly clear morning.

Up around Dubbs reservoir, near Windermere, the water was as calm and flat as a mirror.

And further along a distant view of Ambleside and Lake Windermere enveloped in cloud.
