>>Dear Tony We always enjoy your beautiful photographs, but I had to smile just now at the raindrops on the window image heading Friday's set. That's exactly the view I have as I sit at the computer this morning! I'm thrilled to see rain as the garden desperately needs it, but the accompanying wind is NOT welcome! My poor flowers and shrubs...... but that's one of the chances you take when you live just half a mile from the English Channel. I am keeping all fingers crossed that it will at least be dry later this month when we have a three night stay booked in Langdale on our way further north. I can always imagine the Pikes, but I'd rather see them again - it's been several years since we were last there. Best wishes Judith in Sussex.
