Sat Dec 31st.In complete contrast to last December this year it has been particularly mild. There has been a little snow and an occasional frosty morning but in general the month has been much like November with a lot of grey skies, low cloud, some fierce winds and a fair bit of rain. Christmas Day was dull, mild and in the morning very wet. Jean was able to get out on the nearby hills early in the month but conditions for photography were none too good though she did manage to get a few shots. We were away for a full week visiting my sister in Sussex where the weather was no better then winter colds put a stop to any walking. So, this months pictures are the best I can do with what we were able to take.
Now, with my ankle problem taking much longer to recover than I had envisaged and the prospect of the winter months ahead I have decided to "mothball" Eyeonthelakes for the time being. So the final set of pictures will be for December of this year. I will be retaining my domain name and hopefully will eventually be able to restart the website. I wll try to keep the front page going with a single picture as and when I can with an update of progress. Finally may I wish all visitors to Eyeonthelakes a very happy 2012. Follow this link to Asset-ICT Consultancy Ltd. who host Eyeonthelakes and who I should like to thank for their continuing help and efficient service. A personally signed "Eyeonthelakes" CD of a selection of my walks is still available, it features more than fifty days on the hills and contains over 1000 pictures resized to 800 x 600 pixels for better viewing. The CD will cost £5 and is available from Fred Holdsworth's Bookshop on Rydal Road Ambleside. The CD is not intended as a walking guide but is just a personal record of enjoyable days on the hills. Comments and suggestions about my website are always welcome.tony@edinboro5.freeserve.co.uk I should also be pleased to hear from you if we have met on the hills at anytime but please indicate in the subject line where or when we met.
