Before we left for Cumbria, I posted off two parcels of toys for Knit for Peace.  The picture of the ten teddies seems not to have saved, but here are six dollies, knitted to the teddy pattern and given a dress.

On our second day, the weather had taken a turn as Lakeland weather tends to do.  We set off  to walk through Lanthwaite Woods to the foot of Crummock Water, but rain forced us into the Kirkstile Inn where we enjoyed a leisurely lunch before resuming our walk.

The classic view from the beach at the foot of Crummock.  We remembered other visits here, at other seasons.

And, looking up into Rannerdale, with Rannerdale Knotts to the right.
