Keswick (pronounced Kessick) was the next stop, in the Lakes district. Very picturesque, snow capped mountains against clear blue skies, a town where hiking is the most practiced past time, and where being a resident requires you own a dog, and take it everywhere. Even the pubs are allowed the dogs in it. This is also where the air space is used by the Air Force. Always in pairs, fighter jets would come screaming past. During 9/11 they were out all the time and hovering amongst the hills, where the locals would drive past a jet next to the road! The houses here built again out of a different stone, this area has a lot of shale. This is where Derwent pencils (the ones we all wanted as kids) originate from and are made.
Here we were able to get up close to the sheep and lambs. Although in getting closer and seeing the size of the mummy sheep, I made sure Lily kept her distance!
The park where Lily and I played soccer each day.
Just after the shot of Lily, across the sky line they came! VERY loud!
