The Lakes day 3a

I know it should be day 4 but its been constant rain here today so we sat 'at home' chatting playing games and watching films so this blog is filled with photos of Fungi I took yesterday. Yes there may be several shots of the same species but most are in different locations. Any one who wants to know more about Rydal hall click here

Rydal Hall is owned by Diocese of Carlisle and the gardens are open to the public and you can walk round the grounds and enjoy the water falls and the sculptures

There is a games larder with some fabric sculptures attached
