The first May Bank Holiday long weekend is almost upon us and we are enjoying lots of sunshine and beautiful long days, which a couple of our guests who left today commented upon. They could not believe how bright it remains here even though it is still only Springtime. As I write, I can see that the sun is still out at 7:20 pm, although it is a little obscured by evening cloud.

The evening sun is a bright ball of light on the left side of the photo, just beginning to be obscured by evening cloud. To the right is Lake Windermere, surrounded by fells. This photo was taken from our lounge at Blenheim Lodge in Bowness on Windermere.

The Lake District is beautiful all year round, and May is a great time to come visit the Lakes. The Spring flowers are either budding or out, and the foliage looks young, fresh and green. All around, there is birdsong to accompany visitors on their peregrinations.
