Yorkshire lass. Heart belongs to Cumbria. Happiest in nature and amongst the mountains.

Morning everyone I hope you are well. The "Centenary Stone" partially submerged in Derwentwater after all the rain, with Castle Crag as a backdrop. Have a great day.

@andrw100 @herdyshepherd1 Mine too! The sparrows are in there before the swifts arrive each year

[Diane Gordon @dianegordon125]

@JRfromStrickley Congratulations 🥂 Something to be proud of, and wonderful to have those old photos as well.

If you wonder why farmers claim to be broke and food has never been so expensive… and why so little of the price you pay goes to farmers the read this… we are defaulting to an American system of food oligopolies

Rime! A cold easterly airstream & cloud cover for the last few days has coated the #Helvellyn fells in spectacular #rime ice - delicate feathers of ice which grow into the wind & form when a cold damp airstream hits a cold object. Zac

[Fell Top Assessors @LakesWeather]

⚠️ #swirraledge on #Helvellyn is currently buried under rime ice & neve (refrozen snow)
Crampons & ice axe are essential for a safe & enjoyable ascent or descent. Well done to those walkers without who made the good decision to retreat today #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac

Today's #WowWednesday was captured by @SuperGios of low-lying mist blanketing the Langdales.

Thank you for sharing Jonny! 📸

I was looking back through my photos and came across this little cutie back on this day in 2022. She would have been 10 months old finding her place amongst the flock. Of course, it's the beautiful Bracken 🤎🤎

Over the past 15mth, bTB has become dominant in my head and taken 40% of our herd through an inadequate policy.
We have yet to have bTB even confirmed though!

Something needs to change, so please share, and ensure those behind their desks see what is happening to farms like ours

[Diane Gordon @dianegordon125]

@hilltopfarmgirl I learnt the reason for bent top gate rails a few years ago from our local farmer. Since them I keep seeing them on every farm - scary 😳😬

Take a bracing walk then come home to a warming relax in our Laconium

@TheLakesTony Ee ‘eck well you couldn’t be going to a better place 😉 Enjoy!

It’s tragic more people don’t live by this

Covering parking lots with solar panels is a hell of a lot more sensible than plastering them over prime agricultural land.

#Rime ice forming today above 900m where a cold damp airstream hits a cold object. These ice feathers are the only ice & snow feature that grow into the wind #summitsafely Zac

[Diane Gordon @dianegordon125]

Why? Why trek up a fell, sit on a rock to enjoy the view and eat your snacks, then throw the rubbish in the bracken?
