Derwentwater delights

 With a glorious day, but windy on the tops we opted for a walk round Derwentwater - about 10 miles. Having been selling my paintings via Crafts of the North, in Keswick there is apparently a real demand for Catbells paintings, so it was a good opportunity to take photographs to work from.

The Millenium Stone.

The view looking more like Canada than  the Lakes.
