The last time I was in the area was when staying with friends near Millom a few years back and we had a boozy night in the Prince of Wales at Foxfield. Very enjoyable evening.
Cheers, Alen

The Manor Arms is where most of the locals and ‘characters’ hang out in Broughton so it’s a must if you go there again!

I’ve never been in the Manor Arms. The King’s Head was always my favourite ??? and the Blacksmiths over at Broughton Mills. I haven’t been up there for about 20 years so I’m long overdue a visit. It’s a great area.
Cheers, Alen

Great photos. Not so sure about the fishy bit though – I couldn’t kill anything myself unless it was either me or them!
Carol.

Thanks for that. Glad you like the Scafell shot ??? that???s a view I grew up with and it means a lot to me.
Cheers, Alen

I never knew much about the topography of these regions and always am amazed. Thanks Alen. I’ve been without Internet lately and sure miss visiting. Aloha, Dohn.

I would imagine it would be right up your street.

That is definitely going on my ever growing list for a visit. That’s a grand dog Alen I bet it was great striding out over those sands together.

If the dog stole the show then not only is he going to have to catch fish, he’s going to have to learn to write this blog as well. Thanks Paul.
Cheers now, Alen

That made me laugh. I’ve never thought about it before, but it’s just like how polar bears catch fish ??? plodding through the water and scooping them up. I’ll have that picture in my head every time I go back.
Yes, it is a very beautiful place, and when I was growing up I didn’t really appreciate my surroundings. When I return now I feel more like a visitor and look at the scenery with new eyes.
Cheers, Alen

It’s a great way to catch the fish, Alen, a little polar bear-like.
I would make sure that Laddie IV got an extra walk before Christmas. It is worth celebrating that most steam trains already are driven in remise.
