Yes Ruth---just like my garden at home!!!----I jest of course.   This is the kitchen garden at the tea room at Brantwood,  which is on the eastern shores of  Coniston Water although the road round this side of the lake is often missed by tourists to the area, but is fantastic in the Autumn.     Try googling "Brantwood" and scroll down to BBC Cumbria site, then you can click on to 360 degrees shots of Coniston Water.

Oh how I wish I had views like that from my garden Ruth, but I can't really complain cos we overlook fields.

Thanks, Lorraine.  It reminds me a litte of where I'm originally from - Pennsylvania.  Here's the link Lorraine mentioned:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/cumbria/content/panoramas/brantwood_360.shtml

Lyn - I'll bet it's lovely where you are.  I live in the city, so I don't get to see fields from my house, but the building where I work is outside the city and it's quite lovely there.  In America, what you call gardens, we call yards - front yard, back yard.  And any section of someone's yard where they plant flowers or vegetables is referred to as the garden.

Good morning (or afternoon as the case may be) everyone!  Here's a little something for you to peruse and offer up an opinion, particularly those experienced and knowledgeable shutterbugs out there.  I took this photo inside the Falkland Arms, Great Tew, around 11:00 AM.  There was no one else in the room and there was definitely no smoke in the room.  I fondly refer to this shot as my wee ghostie, as it is the only shot of hundreds taken on that trip that turned out this way.  So, could it be my wee ghostie or merely something technical gone awry with my camera or the conditions at the moment?  My inquiring mind wants to know. Undecided

Looks like you were late making the tea that morning Barbara and the kettel has boiled dry. Spooky.

Could it have been that room was cold and caused the lens to mist up a bit?Undecided
