Terri’s topic today on Sunday Stills is ‘Road Tripping‘. I’ve added some photos below from a few years ago when Sam and I travelled up to the Lake District to visit the area where William Wordsworth grew up in and to visit three of his homes. It was a long drive for us, but well worth it!
Hard to beat the grandeur of the Lake District, as long as the weather is good. When I was up there with Antony and Ollie on a photo-holiday in 2014, we had some lovely days with wonderful light. And it only rained once, for an hour!
Best wishes, Pete.
This must have been a thrill to not only take the drive but to see Wordsworth’s home and what may have inspired his work, Stevie! Lovely home and gardens!

You should have a longer holiday there: so much to explore and such beautiful scenery.
