We finally had a half-way decent day!  A couple of days before, a spectacular sunrise presaged more rain…

But yesterday, when we arrived at Long Meadow, the sun had hazily poked through the earlier overcast.

The flowers had still hardly started – the lupins should have been in full display by now.

There were a few things peeping through: red heather.

And higher up, where the snow had lain late, the Mountain Marsh Marigolds were still prime.

The last cairn was a good place for a break.
