Today's plan was a ride on the ferry for a stroll on the western side of the Lake to take photos for the blog. It looked a fine day for it, so I packed a flask of Earl Grey tea and an oat bar in my basket and trundled off. However in true Lake District style, just as I was about to leave, the skies opened and it showed no sign of stopping! Despite being suitably togged up in Hunter wellies and a Joules waterproof mac, I decided to leave my National Trust land constitutional for another day. So until then, enjoy the photos of my little friend the Black Headed Gull perched on the viewfinder.
