So Saturday morning dawns and the lovely blue skies have turned into cloud and rain.  The wonderful view from our front door has turned into this (still spectacular and moody with the clouds):

So what about the week ahead?  Well, according to the MetOffice app on my phone, it’s just going to stay wet for the foreseeable future:

I even looked for a second* opinion, looking further into the coming week:

Not too disheartened, we explored Keswick today, finding our way around and working out what we want to do.  It even did brighten up a bit later – see the same view late this afternoon:

The log burner was tested late this afternoon (very warm and dry in the cottage) and we have just been watching Last Night of the Proms on TV – yes, civilisation has reached Cumbria.  Tomorrow we intend to do some walking whilst it is, at least, only cloudy!

We didn’t come here for good weather … and we are not disappointed!

*for the keen-eyed amongst you, it should be obvious that I actually took these two images in the other order!
