It’s really good to be able to report that the Lake District
is back on its feet again after the December flooding. We did have small pockets that
were badly damaged but they are now well on the road to recovery and most of it
is now back to its usual splendour.
I’ve now been able to return with my regular volunteers to
continue the drainage work we have started in Braithwaite. It has been quite a
while since I’ve seen eels in the area so it was a good surprise to see two of
them that day. We scooped them up and took them to a safer place away from
where we were working.
I’ve also been out with a larger group combining my regular
volunteers with volunteers from Keswick Tourism Association, the National Park and
Fix the Fells. We all got together to do a mass litter-pick tidying up the high
water mark on the lake shore. That went incredibly well with the volunteers doing superb work as ever..
The weather has also turned for the better. We are seeing
more blue skies and, with the snow-topped mountains, the Lake District has been
looking fantastic. I wonder how many of you have seen the new Star Wars film
and recognized that a lot of it was filmed in Borrowdale. And, of course, it
looked fantastic there as well.
Daisy here, It’s not raining. Life’s fantastic. It’s great.
