I assume that Keswick being in a National Park caused problems - planning, traffic congestion etc. but that's just a guess.The museum is on the site of their factory but I’m not sure if they are still made in the town.

Re: Pics from the walkers
I had hoped to be able to make a post about the wide ranging views across the valley from todays walk.
However the weather means this is the only post you’re getting.

We won’t take a fence, though it would be better if your post had a little stile.

Sorry, I realised I was hedging my bets slightly; that was beyond the pale.

Bradgate Park in Leicestershire, the home of Lady Jane Grey, nine days queen.
A distant view of the ruins, and a closer one. It's a deer park now, mainly roe deer.

It was Monday 3 March at about 4:30pm, certainly the quietest I have ever seen Keswick. Fortunately the fish and chips at a rather quiet Old Keswickian were as good as always.

David, a beach south of Lowestoft? Perhaps Kessingland, or thereabouts.
What a difference 7 years make. Kessingland beach in February 2018… Neil
