Summer has returned to the Lake District and it has been warmer than warm this week. I have not been doing much walking this week but have been out and about with my camera as shown in the first set of shots. Today I had a short walk up to Brock Barrow at the southern end of Coniston Water.

Looking good in the sunshine though. Tuesday was also (bad?) haircut day for the boys and with the threatened good weather coming, they needed it.

All is calm at Lake Bank, the mist is just starting to burn off and you can see it up to the right. Also missing are the Coniston fells, still hidden by the mist to the north.

Climbing from Nibthwaite, Beacon Fell is over the rooftops but to the right the mist is clearing from the Coniston fells now.
