... and a cracking image. Is that a stacked panorama or a cropped wide-angle?
cropped wide-angle. That's the backdrop for next weekends Kendal show!

Such a cracking photo it  might even be Wensleydale ......... a wee Wallis and Gromit joke there, sorry!  :-[
Super photo Dave.  8)
Wensleydale likely looking just as good, Ingleborough in the Dales is white over still - I can see it from the kitchen window. As a Yorkshire man trapped in Lancashire it's a welcome view of culture & civilisation! 😂

It's far better than being trapped in Devon! Lovely image by the way.

Whatever the weather the plants usually catch up with the seasons. Something to look forward to. I see Monty has a new friend. Perhaps Nigel won,t look as bored now.

Technically not weather but a nice clear cold night has allowed me to spot this from the fell behind the house. Not bad for as far south as Lancashire!521759-0521761-1

Shocking day here today, not a mention of it on the 6PM news (if London had been graced with half an inch of slush it would have been first item) and nor was it graced with a storm name. The wind came up during the night and from the North which is rare for us with heavy rain. But the real gale started in the early hours and it's still blowing now and earlier today a wind speed of 91mph was recorded on Berry Head on the Brixham side of Tor Bay. Of course it was bin day today and all the street's bins were put out last night, by 7AM this morning all of them were at the bottom of the road with rubbish strewn all over the road and the gardens.

Tor Bay itself looked as busy as the M25 on a bad day with a large number of ships of all sizes seeking shelter. Still, fish and chips were good at lunch time.

It's been bad here as well David, it started raining heavily last night and most of the day. The farm where I work was partly flooded baca use the drains could not cope with all the water and all the fields were saturated.

Sorry to hear about your weather down south.

Hugo taking in today's lovely afternoon sun and I was working in the garden without a jacket.

Hello John, yes I do (well someone has to) ;D The scenery is a bit boring but the wildlife is second to none. We have southern species reaching their northern limits and northern species reaching their southern limits. Add to this we are in the rain shadow of the pennines but we also have the largest raised bog in the country (it also happens to be the largest inland SSSI in the country). Who could ask for more.
