So on the final day of our Lake District holiday with Janet and Helen we
visited Ullswater, where poet William Wordsworth famously 'wandered lonely as a cloud'.
Let me tell you, there were no lonely clouds hovering over Ullswater on
Thursday. They all had plenty of company....
Despite the less than excellent weather I thoroughly enjoyed both the boat
trip out from Glenridding to Howtown, and the soggy seven mile walk back along
the lake shore.
It's not the right season for Wordsworth's daffodils, but we did see plenty of
fungi, including these tasty sounding 'beefsteak' mushrooms. Yum yum!
Happy Nature Friday friends!
beefsteak mushrooms? wow ! and a boat ride? wow wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness Nobby, that was a very soggy walk - and you went on a boat too - what fun! My human loved the Lake District and said she was fortunate that she mostly saw it in sunshine.

Looks like wet and messy walk back, but that can still be fun. Love those beautiful mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't lick those shrooms did you Nobby? They look like a warning! 7 miles is an admirable trek, I'm not sure F would carry me that far. Paw smacks Mr T
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty trip despite the weather and what pretty mushrooms!
ReplyDeletethe mushrooms are aptly named for sure, they look like beef steak or maybe liver. the beauty is what I would call rustic beauty. I love untamed by humans growth, like the photo with the red coat in it. gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNobby OMDs you have officially gained your sea legs...What a whirlwind you are having. The scenery is lovely even with the rain. The beefsteak mushrooms are shiny red..

Wow Nobby, what grand adventures you are having during your first year!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful scenery, even with the clouds and drizzle and Mama says those mushrooms are beautimous!!
That looks like a great place for a hike even if the weather didn't cooperate for you, Nobby. We think you are very brave travelling on that boat.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very adventurous spirit.
ReplyDeleteThose fungi are magnificent...best not try to eat them though, we think.
ReplyDeleteSometimes inclement weather brings out the best times, at least petcretary thinks so,
Hari Om.... what? Another post that I didn't see on the day????? WTF is going on... (sorry, Nobby, that's short for wired-terrier-foxing...) Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx (who loved the photos, damp or not.)
