Esthwaite Water.

One morning thus by Esthwaite lake,
when life was sweet, I know not why
To me my good friend Matthew spake,
and this I made reply........

William Wordsworth
1770-1850

A very tranquil Esthwaite Water in the lovely Lake District.

Three good things:
1. A quiet day so have been able to catch up with commenting a bit.
2. I have found a new dinosaur flannel for Max to replace the one with holes in.
3. I also found on Ebay the material Jo wants for Max's curtains for £3.99 instead of £12.99 per metre!

Lovely ripples

Fav for me and I love the poem. Wordsworth was at St John's as a student - hated it I think! I've been looking for VW camper van material for Rachel's curtains - much better price on line.
