The snow has made the scenery round here spectacular in yet another way. The Cumbrian fells never look the same for long – the slightest change in light can make a dramatic difference, so when the world is white the extreme changes can take your breath away…
The only downside is the hazard of concealed ice under the snow, so my terriers and I have had to postpone our ramble on the far side of Keswick. The north Pennines are looking stunning and the Howgills look as inviting as ever. It’s been fairly hazardous outside my small shop – my assistant nearly went bustle over fringe the other day (when I gather we were the coldest place in the UK at minus eleven!) but the powers that be (or a neighbour) have put grit out now which seems a good thing.
Nice to see a piece in the local paper about the book, even if my assistant did see fit to send a photo of yours truly in! So if you’re up here before 11th December you will see a picture of Dalesman as John Peel on the front of our The Cumberland and Westmorland Herald!
Right, books to parcel up, catalogues to send out… I think I’ll put the kettle on.
