FRI ZOOM
A year ago the Sycamore Gap tree was illegally felled. Hear about an artistic response in a new exhibition at The Sill by Cumbrians.

Lots of ideas bubbling around in Carlisle right now, Steve Dunn at Cumberland reveals all.

& Cumbrian sewing retreats with Izzy Butcher!

Ruskin described Turner as the artist who could most 'stirringly and truthfully measure the moods of nature'. Fascinating to see an exhibition devoted to his charting, unwittingly perhaps, the impact of climate change on the nature he studied and captured with such force & truth.

It is humble, but let's not overlook the significance of the Carnated Bowl in British history. As the first pottery made by the earliest settlers & farmers, it paved the way for the rich tradition of pottery-making in the Isles. Add to your home museum 👉https://t.co/iNxr2Lh0SS

Our #PortraitOfTheDay is a rather charming depiction of a man and his horse.

The sitter in question is Robert Bakewell, who was a stockbreeder from the 18th century.

On this day in April 1802 – William and Dorothy were surprised by the beauty of a long stretch of wild daffodils along the shores of Ullswater. Dorothy captured the moment in her journal, and two years later, William wrote his best-loved poem ‘I wandered lonely as a Cloud’.
