Blippers Week

What a night! The wind was battering my window all night with some serious rain and it carried on the same in the morning. I went into Keswick and sat in Costa for a while with a huge coffee.
 
I was grateful that I didn’t have to travel far today as many roads are closed and there’s a huge presence of police at main junctions, advising motorists of where they can get to and where they can’t. I headed up the road towards Cockermouth, which seemed to be less troubled than the roads to the south and east. I stopped at a car park near Bassenthwaite Lake, sorted out some stuff, read a magazine and ate my lunch. At about 1.30 the rain seemed to have slackened off so I walked up to Hursthole Point to photograph ‘that tree’ in very different weather conditions from the last time I was here a year ago.
 
I’m now in the comfort of Lakeland Photographic Holidays in Braithwaite where we have a Blippers Week. You might like to keep an eye on what we get up to in the week ahead. I’m sure there’ll be lots of good stuff.
