The lake unites a haunting loveliness...

to a raw desolation. (Dale Morgan)

What a difference a couple of days make!

We took the kids to the lake at Pooley Bridge again, so Jane could take photographs with her real camera. I took a picture similar to that of the blip for the 3rd of December and the difference is striking!

Am back home now, ready to get going with my essay (again) after having a meltdown with it yesterday and deleting a third of what I had drafted. Back to 500 words again! Its a good job it is not due in until January!
