A beautiful day today, sunshine all day long! Me and Misty went to Tarn Hows which I haven't been to for over 30 years! I was hoping for autumn colours but there wasn't a lot of colour around the tarns. It was very busy there, the sunshine obviously brought everybody out. I spotted a track signposted to the Langdales so wandered along there for a while enjoying the great views. I so was glad to get away from the hoards wandering around the tarns. So here is Misty posing for me with the Langdales as a backdrop.

Went home via Thirlmere taking the back road towards Keswick and we stopped off a few times and wandered down to the shore. The reflections of the trees in the water with the late afternoon sun on them was absolutely amazing to see.

Had a surprise while driving on one of the short dual carriageway sections to see a Japanese tourist, camera in hand, walking in the carriageway in the overtaking lane against the flow. She'd parked in a layby but obviously wanted to take some photos from the middle of the road, silly woman!! Its a good job the road was quiet.

Well the fireworks are going off, they've just started and so far so good with Misty. I was wondering how she would react. She doesn't seem too bothered but I have turned the volume up on the tv. Can't say the same for Sasha cat though, she's frighted and is hiding in the bedroom.
