I can't tell you how good it feels to be on holiday this week, such a welcome breather and a much needed change of pace after a busy half term. We've been having some lengthy family debate (and uncertain weather) of late, and as a result we've decided to stay home instead of heading off with Connievan. My heart is a little sad but there is still plenty of time yet for Connie adventures in the Summer months.
The past couple of days have been very gloomy and wet, but today we woke to blue skies and fluffy white clouds, yippee!! After a hasty breakfast I rounded everyone up and off we went for a short walk around the reservoir in the next village. It was glorious, so much greenery and such stunning light and reflections. There was much activity at the little boating centre today which made for great watching. This walk suits our needs for mild exercise and scenery very well, and I love how these snaps have become the "outing" equivalent of my Attic view! Look how brown it all is in these pictures! You can see how it looks in Late Summer and Late Winter too.
Beautiful whatever the weather, and whatever the season.

While traveling is fun, it is nice to explore the areas close to home also. I just told my husband that we should try to visit a different State Park every weekend this summer. We have several within an hours drive. Lovely pictures of the lakes, boats, and reflections.

Well if you have to stay home for a holiday, at least it's a gorgeous place to start with! :)) Our schools are out for the summer here in the States and this past weekend was a holiday weekend, so it was lazy days on the porch and grilling out, homemade ice cream, hooking in the swing, so a staycation for us as well.(Saw a few boats heading to the water.)

There's something about water and boats that calms the soul, isn't there, and being outside is just magic. Glad the weather held out for you! xx

Fab here in Spain too,warm sunny weather, nightingales,veg plot blooming. Out now to do some damage to weeds which are also blooming. I just love your blog. Keep it coming. Freddie

This looks like a perfect break especially when the weather is so unsettled. We had quite torrential downpours yesterday and a bit of every season today.
It looks fabulous and very relaxing from the wide landscapes to the cheery little buttercup. Enjoy the rest of your holiday break.

Beautiful! (And so green!) I do hope you get to visit Connievan soon. I absolutely love looking at pictures from those trips because I can't have a camper of my own. Lol.

Yorkshire gorgeousness... makes me miss my childhood towns and landscape. However loving The Lake District for the greenery, hills and good air. Enjoy your break before the madness of Yarndale moves up a gear! Karen xx

We visited Skipton over the weekend, after reading your blog I expected a quaint small place - surprised to find it's a big town!
