After the heavy rain and high winds a sunken yacht at Waterhead........
....and flooding at the Water Edge Hotel......
....this time only the gardens....

Reeds at the waters edge.
The Struggle, up from Ambleside to the Kirkstone Pass.....
...from the top looking down Middle Grove towards Windermere.....
