Usually every spring the slopes of Rannerdale, Crummock Water, are filled with bluebells. This year though the winter was long, spring was short and very dry, and I’d heard that last November’s floods had brought lots of debris down the hillside. John from LPH hadn’t seen any this year, and none were there last weekend when I drove past. But with my brother saying I could stay as long as I wanted, yesterday I went there again and though it was drab and overcast, it was so spectacular I had to go back this morning.
