Good Day "62"

I remember you pictures quite well. When I went same year a few weeks after you there was still pocket of snow on the very high ground, plus walking 'off path' on the fells was very wet underfoot due to the melt waters coming down from the hills

Don't think it will be quite so bad this year, although do think there is still some snow on the high ground, but not a lot

As long as it's not as deep as it was in 2013, I'm determined to get to that fort this time. We had a flurry of the white stuff here yesterday, but that's normal around here at this time of year. I suppose Spring will come when it's good and ready.

Could be a lot worse elsewhere I suppose.

Edited for my iffy spelling  

Don't worry Dave, the first sign of snow up Hardknott and we'll be out of there sharpish, as much as I love Roman History I have no desire to become part of it. I know just how bleak it is up there from last time we attempted to get through the snow drifts, eventually the road closed and along with others we turned back. Better safe than sorry, there's always another time.

BBC weather forecast is looking OK, light cloud, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but like here it has its own climate so we'll go prepared. I think the snow shovel is still in the car boot, might just leave it there  

Good morning..it's Easter here...I made some fresh fruit, raisin toast, scrambled eggs with ham, and sausage for breakfast, with coffiee....and I've got an lot more cooking to do yet before dinner today...but every chance I get...I run out to seehow the flowers are coming out in full bloom. It's not raining like they said it would be though...and someone's passing out plastic eggs in downtown Portland with enough money in them to buy your breakfast this morning. So I know that it's past Easter where your at, but was thinking of you...enjoy your little jaunts about the countryside today...some lady in the magazine I have really went all out this year and she wallpapered in her house an wall of bunny rabbit profiles in brown on an beige background....that's gotta be decorating in grand  style. Very impressive entry way with alll the prtty and bright flowers on an table next to it...an fake bunnny rabbits. I took my  decorated cupckes out to the kids yesterday. Talk  later...got some deviled eggs to make... and an few salads.
