I was at CASTLERIGG also.My first WINTER SOLSTICE..Had driven to ULSWATER are from KENT,esspecially,for a SOLSTICE BREAK,as it fits in with my calender of things...
Stayed just up the road,along towards, POOLEY BRIDGE..!!
The wind howled and disslodged all the offerings that had been placed so lovingly...
...Including a lovely wreath,I had spent the evening before,making..!!
It was still magical,watching the gloomy sunlight trying to peek throught the rain clouds..
