It's not perfect but it will do anyway

I have decided that I am tired of waiting to produce the perfect post, the one that is just right.  So I am just going to show you a photo or two every day, and see how that works out.  I love sharing my photos but to make the story just right is too trying right now so I hope you will enjoy what I have to offer.The following are taken in the beautiful Lake District of England.

Perfect isn't always the answer don't you think?  Sometimes good enough, is just that, good enough.
I have to say that I think that trying to reach perfection is the thing that stops us from enjoying  life and the beauty around us.  Striving for perfection can be stultifying and stops us in our tracks.  Let's appreciate the little things.  

Tell me the things you enjoy each day. I'd really love to know.

English Lake District, simply perfect!

Well, I have been out of the loop for a fortnight because my internet connection has been painfully slow but I have been savouring the delights of some time up in the English Lake District.
Some of my Dad's family  came from there and we still have strong family connections in this area.
I'm going to share some random photos for now and later I would like to go into a bit more detail about Herdwick Sheep, Beatrix Potter, mountain climbs etc. Believe me, I could go on and on.....!

Walk down a country lane

Honeysuckle smells so delicious!

Into the village

Then back across the fields, this shows wool on the fence

A gate that leads to who knows where.......

New leaves
Wild Rose in the Hedgerow

This is just a taste of the wonders that the Lake District has to offer.  And I haven't even shown you a lake or a mountain yet!
You can see why I don't have any trouble finding inspiration for my jewellery.  I am so lucky to find it everywhere I go!
Oh my goodness, not a potato to be seen!  Never mind,  life is too good to be limited to just one thing!

Thanks for taking a look at my photos 
and I wonder if any of you have ever been to the Lake District? 
Tell me about your favourite place in all the world .....I would love to hear!
