Amazing Ambleside Week
by Carpe Diem!Wow! Where to start? Massive thanks to Chris, Glenn, John, Alistair and Christine for their superb initiative and leadership.
Mere words cannot capture it but the inspiration to try is rampant! Soooo...
Windermere
those hills...
a diet of light and shade
heather dabbed with rain,
gazing, musing
above that splendorous Lake,
as the rush of serenity
envelopes our souls
and balm of dusk
transcends
