@Countrystride1 Excellent. Glad to hear the break is over.

@herdyshepherd1 That’s beautiful. I love Seamus Heaney. Do you know his poem, Digging? From peat cutting to poetry via the shadow of the Troubles, and in so few exquisitely chosen words.

@Countrystride1 Stalacsmiting!

Reading for a rainy Saturday on Hefted, from @GeorgeKitching. "The name John Pepper is largely lost in Lakeland literary circles. But his ode to Cockley Beck, where he spent six winters engaged in a search for meaning, is a classic of nature writing..." https://t.co/0of9zxRymD

@Mmalone32 @Countrystride1 Thank you, Matt.

Lovely linescape from Mark to accompany a forthcoming Hefted piece from @GeorgeKitching about the little-known John Pepper masterpiece, 'Cockley Beck: A Celebration of Lakeland in Winter'.

@Countrystride1 @PhoebeRSmith Wonderful evening. Inspiring talks, great company, lovely food and what a view from the terrace. Roll on the next one!

Named for a tragedy & rocked by a murder, serene Brothers’ Water hides its secrets below the majestic cliffs of Dove Crag. I walk up to the cave called Priest Hole and tell Dovedale’s stories. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @keswickbootco @walkingbookscom

@JackieSharples @keswickbootco Not that I’m aware of (much as I’d love to claim a family connection with Mardale).

[George Kitching @GeorgeKitching]

@Mmalone32 @keswickbootco Thank you, Matt. I’m glad you thought so.

[George Kitching @GeorgeKitching]

@marlinhoister It’s certainly an uplifting landmark.

@TravellingTrev Thank you

Celebrated the solstice with an evening walk up the Old Man of Coniston. A rare treat to have it to myself.

@Mmalone32 Third time lucky, maybe!
