		<title>Ford Madox Brown’s England</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ve been last week to the magnificent Ford Madox Brown exhibition at the City Art Gallery in Manchester. It has now closed. The first comprehensive showing of his work for 40 years, the exhibition vividly shows both Brown’s contribution to Victorian painting and the range of his work. Celebrated in Manchester for his murals in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skiddaw webcam back at work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ve had a link to the Fisher’s webcam on our home page for over two years, but recently it hasn’t been working, due I thought to a hitch at Fisher’s end. On Sunday I thought there must be a solution and contacted our website developer Leanda Ryan to ask if she could find out what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazon&#8217;s reach and waste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are always glad to have suggestions for improvements at the Larches and rapidly decided we needed to get two new knives &#8211; a bread knife and cook&#8217;s knife &#8211; when our New Year guests commented about the existing ones. Antique? Well not quite but old, pre stainless steel certainly and quick to rust, if [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lakeland country day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been plenty of rain around in January but it has only stopped us from going up on the cloud covered high tops. There&#8217;s lots else to do! Yesterday we walked up from Millbeck on the south facing side of the Derwent Valley, for a brief afternoon walk and found a new track down from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bassenthwaite secrets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Out yesterday in the late afternoon, I surprised myself how quickly I could get down to Bassenthwaite&#8217;s shoreline. Just 25 minutes walking from The Larches and I was looking across to Ullock Pike and Dodd Wood and facing a stiff wind from the NE, which was furrowing the lake&#8217;s surface and throwing up threads of [...]]]></description>

		<title>That mystery new mountain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well here&#8217;s the larger photo which should now tell you where that new mountain is, which I posted a blog about last month! Taken from Booth&#8217;s car park looking north on a very misty day, it shows Carsleddam 518 metres, a lovely peak which is overshadowed by Carlside and Little Man in the Skiddaw massif.

		<title>The Lakes and winter&#8217;s delights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Larches has been full of people and fun over the festive period and though the weather hasn&#8217;t been brilliant, there&#8217;s been plenty of good walking and good company. The picture above taken on Boxing Day from the route up Cat Bells &#8211; a favourite of ours &#8211; shows just how intriguing the views in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keswick &amp; shopping in 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Keswick centre has been full of lights and decorations over Christmas and New Year, as the photo of the Moot Hall shows. It has brightened up the town, but the view of shopkeepers and others has been more gloomy. Trade and visitors have been down on last year, despite the mild weather with none of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keswick&#8217;s new mountain?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re used to heavy rain obscuring our view, or darkness and lamplight throwing up weird shapes in alleyways and urban landscapes; or early morning mists twisting the familiar face of a park or meadow into a foreign field. We take it for granted. It&#8217;s what happens when a few of the visual clues we are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Felltops&#8217; snow service saved</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather has been wild and changeable this week like for most of the country &#8211; cloud, sleet, snow, hail and sun in succession; and has not been without some glorious &#8216;world&#8217;s first smile&#8217; moments. The picture of the snow capped Skiddaw range, taken from inside the Belvedere took your breath away as we ate [...]]]></description>
