Ullswater excursion

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!
