Yesterday the Lakes was blessed with January sunshine. We had jobs to do at our self catering cottage, Brockstone. It’s the cottage that you pass as you walk from Dove Cottage to Rydal Mount along the coffin route.

View from Brockstone Cottage over Silver Howe to Wetherlam and Sergeant Man

Here’s a picture I took whilst we had our lunch on the terrace. You can see that there is snow on Wetherlam ( left horizon) and Sergeant Man ( the little pimple on the right horizon)
This was taken on 11/1/11 .As the cottage is high on the hillside, it gets all the sun that’s going.
