| A touch of ice on lake Derwentwater, there have been winters when areas of the lake have had that much ice, it would be full of people and skaters playing about on it. In the bad winter of 62-63 we had frost from December to April, the ice was so thick on the lake, that one person went to and from work across the lake on his motorbike. Easter was fairly early that year, and I took my first girlfriend camping for the first time, I thought it would also be the last time , but she loved it, in spite of the freezing cold conditions. |

ReplyDeleteYour title takes me back years to when my mother read "A Ring of Bright Water" about otters in (I think) on the west coast of Scotland and loved it, and obviously talked about it! It's hard to imagine Derwentwater with ice as it was beautiful sunny water when I was in the Lake District years ago!

ReplyDelete(Am hopeful of visiting the Lake District sometime during April or May - it's 45 years since I was last there, so will enjoy the region through more mature eyes!!) Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy weekend.
What a superb image!
