A morning mist and a high tide produced a sunrise as pretty as a picture yesterday morning but we left our sea views at home in Dawlish and headed “t’north”, way up to the Lake District.

This evening, from Hill Top – the last home of famous author Arthur Ransome (who wrote ‘Swallows and Amazons’) and now the home of our friends Stephen and Janine – we watched the sun go down beautifully in a mist over the Fells.
