I’ve just been looking through photos from last March. Here’s one I took at Brockstone Cottage on 24 March 2013. Those of you familiar with the walk from Grasmere to Rydal will recognise the gate with the unusual fastening. It’s just below our Lakes holiday cottage. One day I’m planning to write a blog post with photos about gates and their fastenings- there so many different types – I find it fascinating. Maybe I’m a bit of a sad case.

Rydal Water from our Lakes Holiday Cottage March 2013

Snow, grey skies, grey lake in March last year….quite a contrast to the one I took and posted on our blog yesterday.
