Hello!
You’ve found the first post on my new blog. I already have several other blogs but was not happy with mixing very different content, so here’s one especially for items about England.
Initially the principal focus of the blog will be on things connected with my “England’s Lakes“ site at lakes.around-england.co.uk, which launched recently. This is chiefly about the English “Lake District” (in Cumbria, up at the northwest corner of the country, and very close to where I was born) but it will also carry information on other major lakes in different parts of the country. As of today, there are just four lakes to go, and then I’ll have introductory pages on each of the major lakes in Cumbria plus items on the country’s two biggest artificial reservoirs (Kielder Water and Rutland Water), both of which have important nature reserves associated with them.
Once I have an introductory page on each major lake I’ll be starting to add special topic pages on subjects such as boating, fishing, camping, walking, etc. The plan is rapidly to build up a comprehensive information source on our country’s lakes and how to enjoy them. There will also be a wide variety of related photography and artwork.
Finally (for now) there will be a great deal of material on books about England’s Lakes, and especially about the Lake District, its places and its people. Take a look now at our first Lake District Books page.
Watch for more,
