Autum at Talkin Tarn

Rob, Brock and I had a trip to Talkin Tarn, Cumbria on Sunday. The weather was sunny and it was very busy with dog walkers, rowing enthusiasts and people enjoying the view from the cafe on site.

Rob, Brock and I went for a walk at Talkin Tarn, Cumbria yesterday. The snow was still lying on the ground and most of the lake was frozen. (Please click on any photo to see a larger version).

 The water birds were all congregating in the one part of the tarn that wasn't frozen.

Brock looking a little bit crazy. He loves this walk, as there are usually lots of other dogs around for him to meet and greet. The third photo shows the new woodland that has been planted next to the lake.

Talkin Tarn

Rob, Brock and I had a walk around Talkin Tarn in Cumbria this morning. It was a bright, sunny day and there were lots of people about, including people rowing on the lake.

Brock enjoyed meeting some other dogs, and watching the ducks and geese.

There was a craft stand in the boathouse, but it had not opened by the time we left. There is also a cafe by the marina area, but the last time we had coffee there, it was dire.

We stopped in Brampton on the way home and had a very nice coffee at the Howard Arms, which came with a homemade shortbread biscuit. Very pleasant!
