  "O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe, And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers."

Hawkshead is a lakeland village where I choose to stay on my holidays in The Lake District. There are many reasons for that; I just love its olde worlde story book look and feel; it has a more or less central position in the Lake District making it close to wherever you might want to go on your day trips; and it has important connections with The Wordsworths and Beatrix Potter, who are among my favourite names in English literature. The photos below were taken last month when I stayed there for the first time in five years.   My previous posts on Hawkshead: https://vesnaarmstrong.blogspot.com/2017/05/hawkshead-prettiest-lake-district.html https://vesnaarmstrong.blogspot.com/2018/08/a-return-to-hawkshead-lake-district.html https://vesnaarmstrong.blogspot.com/2017/06/walker-ground-manor-b-hawkshead-lake.html
