Managed to squeeze in 20 hiking miles this week, alongside our performance of the #GrasmereDialectPlays.
Highlight was our deer walk above Patterdale with the Skiddaw U3A Roamers - the light and autumn colours were stunning #lakedistrict #nhs1000miles @kitzingercelia.bsky.social

Thank you so much, Penny!
It would never have happened without the impetus of the wonderful MA in "Literature, Romanticism & the English Lake District" and your support and encouragement

A joyous & historic evening of words & music from the Grasmere Dialect Plays, which came home to Grasmere Village Hall for the first time in nearly a century. Congratulations to @suewilkinson.bsky.social for putting together this celebration of a vital part of Lakeland cultural history 📚🍂

A historic night as the Grasmere Dialect Plays return to the village after almost one hundred years. Congratulations @suewilkinson.bsky.social and the Lake District Dialect Society. Eleanor Rawnsley would be proud.

Only 48 hours to go until the #GrasmereDialectPlays come 'home' to Grasmere after nearly a century. We're so excited!
7 pm, Sat 10 Oct, Grasmere Village Hall.

First deer walk of the rutting season, above Patterdale with the Keswick Roamers. Thanks to Lena Dacuna for logistics & deer-spotting eye! Surprised to see 3 stags together - anyone know how long the dominant male will tolerate youngsters?
