I Wish I Was in Wasdale

This time last year we were holed up in Wasdale, I’ve been hankering after the place, although there is nowt wrong with here you understand, it’s just I’d like the freedom from ‘stuff’ that comes with going away for a few days, at home you can never quite escape the chores, the niggling phone calls [...]

Field Views

 
Early one morning. Fields, houses and the English village essentials, the cricket pitch and football pitch.
