How lucky I am to live by England's largest lake. With nature and beauty all around, it surely is a feast for the eyes and tonic for the spirit. Artist's eyes often find beauty in the unconventional. For example the old Shepherds Aquarius building on the left is considered an eyesore by some, but I like it very much!
Though the large slate sign remains, the chandlery shop, bar, disco, restaurant and coffee shop are long gone. With just the woollen shop in business, what wonderful studio spaces the vacant units would make! How I would love to sit bead looming on the top floor, looking out across the lake watching the steamers go by. Ah, maybe one day...
