Some more images of Grasmere from 9th September. One of the smaller lakes with gorgeous scenery. It’s closely tied to William Wordsworth

My wife suggested a 'public transport adventure' in the Lakes with pub bribes included. Nice lake walk from the bus, Grasmere’s pubs did not disappoint - 9 Sept

Rainbow at Aira Force-known as spraybow-forms when sunlight hits the waterfall’s mist. The tiny droplets scatter light more than rain, blending the colours more softly

Another beaut of a day in the @lakedistrictnpa 😍✌🏻
Today’s ride with Chez took us over the serene, highly photogenic and picturesque Old Coach Road around Matterdale Common.
Super chilled. Just taking in the scenery! 🥰👌🏻
