The Greta is a formidable river as it enters its gorge upstream from Keswick. The K2T Keswick Railway Footpath follows the river downstream from Threlkeld. This is the view from Low Pearson’s Bridge with meltwater and a day’s rain fuelling the flow.
More than a few years since I first walked this route; now the Greta is a neighbour and I cross it and enjoy the varying moods of the river when I’m walking to the supermarket in Keswick.

Street photography is almost an integral part of the Brighton Lanes experience: anyone can be prey to camera groups on the prowl most weekends. If you can’t beat them, join them! Here are a few street snaps from the first Saturday of 2026.
The gardens of Brighton’s Royal Pavilion, the seaside pleasure palace of King George IV (reigned 1820-30), which was finished by architect John Nash; the Pavilion was later enjoyed by his successors William IV, then Queen Victoria.
Always a pleasure to walk along Seaford beach front in fine weather. The traditional beach huts have been photographed many times. My photo this time is about textures as well as colours.
Market Square, Keswick filled with residents and visitors for the switching on of the Christmas lights. Entertainment on a stage in front of The Moot Hall from the cast of “The Wizard of Oz” production at the Theatre by the Lake, a funfair and local band “The Kasios” got the crowd dancing before dignitaries made speeches and, finally, Keswick’s Christmas lights were illuminated for 2025.
The weather was dry and warm enough. Mikey and I enjoyed a copious fish and chips outdoors from the paper. Job satisfaction time for Mikey: he designed the hotels’ displays on either side of the square.
