Grisedale Pike from Lord's Seat
For a work place, I think this would be difficult to beat!
Here's my day:
I spent the morning refilling the red squirrel feeders and talking to visitors who had been watching a baby squirrel and its Mum – before I scared them off with the food bucket. Then I moved on to the Viewpoint at Beckstones with a telescope and with some more very charming visitors watched our local osprey nest. It looks like the female is now sitting on eggs!
I covered colleague's lunches in the shop, matching people up with the way-marked walks and telling them to keep a look out for the Raven couple. They are so exuberant and vocal swooping and soaring with the blue sky behind them.
After lunch, sitting on a grassy bank in the sunshine, I researched fun facts about Dippers and posted them up in the Wildlife Hide. Did you know they have very heavy bones to help keep them underwater when hunting for food? We think there’s a pair nesting by the stream at Hallgarth.
And then it was five o’clock and time to go home. But I just couldn’t bear the thought of going back to wet washing, washing up and hoovering so I walked up to Lord’s Seat and watched the sun sink over the Solway and lighting up Grisedale Pike.
And now, I’m writing this, and the housework will have to wait until tomorrow!
