All Roads Lead to the Lake District (part II)

May 20, 2008

The people

The National trust warden and his handsome dog, the third generation to accompany him in his work

The mountain biker, I told him he was looking rather photogenic, ‘Yes’ he replied you can call the shot, ‘Mountain Biker Lost’ so I did.

'Mountain Biker Lost'

The farmer feeding his lambs, the black one being a bit of a maverick

Farmer and black lamb

The schoolkids setting out on an adventure, that was going to be wet.

Kids on an adventure

The farmer, dog, sheep and lambs, heading for the fells, I think I’ve photographed him before

Farmer, dog, sheep, lambs

And last but least, Joe, doing a little archery in rather a splendid location

That's my boy

Joe got a little impatient waiting his turn, he claims he said he was ‘bored,’ the instructor insisted that Joe said that ‘archery was boring’ and so punished him because it isn’t!

Archery is not boring 

It did wash off, in the end.

  1. I’ve been reading your recent posts, but haven’t had a chance to comment - your photos, as always, look brilliant! It looks like you had an amazing time :-)

  2. Love the maverick lamb picture… just so good - I wish my scenery round here was half as good as yours up there :-)

  5. Hope we don’t make you too homesick JJ, the internet must be a mixed blessing, easy to see ’stuff’ from the homeland and keep in touch with family and friends, but does it make it harder to ’settle in’ to a different culture?

  6. ::whimper:: Your photos do me in! I’m getting home-sick-or-whatever (never lived there, but you get what I mean). Do they need science teachers there?

    Disabilty awareness in education isn’t what it might be here in the UK

  8. Well, the internet is a mixed blessing, but I’m glad for it. It’s so easy to be critical of the UK (many expats are) but seeing your pictures always reminds me of what is good about my real home.

    I won’t be here for ever so I’m happy to settle while I am here.
