Passage. by happypat

Passage.

When we were driven out of Hawkshead by the rain last Monday we went shopping in Kendal. I bought something for Jack that wouldn't fit so this morning I went in pouring rain back to Kendal to return it.
I have never seen so much rain but by the time I arrived it was warm & dry.
Love all the little passages which they call yards in Kendal.....one called Wainwrights Yard after the famous walker & writer of Lakeland books.
Kendal is a fantastic little town with many photo opportunities.

Our farm treasure tramp tonight up at Tewitfield so going to be bad at commenting again I am afraid.... so sorry!

Also going to miss the end of the Murray match at Wimbledon... do hope he wins!
Very ice catch. Just what is a *farm treasure tramp*?

I love that old wall. Kendal sounds a good place to visit. I hope you are not getting too much rain. Enjoy the Treasure Tramp.

Lovely shot. These little yards/alleys/walks etc... are so personal to each town and can be very photogenic.

What is a treasure tramp? Like a treasure hunt?

@jimmyveee @jtookey150 @kwiksilver A treasure Tramp is where ideally you stroll around a beautiful farm in the evening sun with a list of clues you have to look for in the fields & tracks as you walk.
Instead it turns out to be a wade through muddy puddles in the rain trying to keep the question paper dry & you can't answer any of the questions they are so obscure. A dried up cottage pie to finish up & have to buy your own drink on top when you have paid £6. I was so busy listening to the Andy Murray game I left my camera behind too so there are no photos.

Fascinating alleyway - am trying to figure out - are those lights above that look like a starry night?

What a fabulous little alleyway. It could lead anywhere

I seem to remember buying a raincoat in Hawkshead one summer - does it always rain there?
July 7th, 2012  
Ooh nice alley, especially like the little lights!

@happypat Doesn't sound like the most pleasant way to spend an evening - especially without a camera!
July 7th, 2012  
Well you didn't scupper Murray! My lovely godmother lives in Kendal - wish we were nearer!

Great pov!
