Although the weather forecast was for light rain in the morning, turning heavier around midday, it was dry when I went out with bird food. I made the sensible decision to drive to Grasmere for a short wander and a blip. It started raining as soon as I got back to the car and was heavy when I arrived home. The sunshine should be back tomorrow.

Some of you will recognise this view of Helm Crag from the road beyond Allan Bank.
