A beautiful red squirrel is paying a visit to the terrace outside our window every day. Where’s the photo? I haven’t managed to take one yet. The camera is sitting right by the window, but that squirrel has a sixth sense, and even though it doesn’t seem to be looking at me it hops, skips and jumps away every time I focus on it.
I’ll post the photo here when I eventually get one!

Meanwhile, are you thinking about visiting the Lakes in 2012? If you want to walk without taking your car, you couldn’t do better than to stay right here at White Moss House.

Wordsworth wild daffodils ate White Moss House

Every good blog needs a photo, so here you are. These are the wild daffodils described by Wordsworth in his famous poem. There are banks of the lovely little flowers at White Moss House. The end of Mrach, beginning of April is usually a good time to see them.
