Around a month ago Caroline, from Business Support, introduced Part One of our Enviable Commute post; here's part two, Caroline picks up where she left off, with lakes of course figuring quite large in most commutes to work around here ...

A favourite of mine if I go to work via Cunsey, is this view across
Windermere by this gorgeous holiday cottage - a salient reminder that
some spend their hard earned annual leave in the places where we all
live! I'd love to holiday here but its not the same if you can just nip
home for that forgotten item.... |
 |
| This is Colthouse, a small hamlet on the road from Hawkshead to High
Wray, Low Wray and Wray Castle. You can just make out the sandbags at
the ready by the wheelbarrow.Behind the camera is a steep hill which
water comes rushing down during rainy times and is impossible to get up
when its icy... but its such a cute village, the locals obviously put up
with the drawbacks as they are far outweighed by the enjoyment of
living there.

| An amazing view across the lush green fields from Low Wray towards Ambleside and the fells beyond. |
 |
| On the road through Finsthwaite the wild life is a little more exotic.... |
 |
| ....than our local
Herdwick sheep. But they do have such cute faces! Beatrix insisted that
each of her tenant farmers kept a flock of Herdwicks to maintain the
survival of the breed. |
But we finish off with this journey to work which takes the biscuit!
 |
| About twice a
year, our rangers organise helicopter lifts of stone and materials to
mend the many footpaths across the fells. This is the view that one of
our rangers had on his way to work on one of those days.... |
