Photograph of Sizergh Castle from across the lake. Thistles in the foreground and a moody sky overhead. Lake District is spectacularly beautiful.

OK, so it's third time lucky for this one but it is really rather beautiful and fits today's theme.

Seriously soggy walk around Sizergh.
Nice between the showers.

#SizerghCastle

Gates to a castle. Blue sky but very wet ground.

Seems I caused a little chaos yesterday posting a European robin as I'm over in England! So here's one with a brighter chest from last winter up at #SizerghCastle. Our robins are around 5 inches so half the size of American/Canadian and sing a beautiful song. They are very friendly! #BritishBirds

A beautiful robin sat by the lake at Sizergh Castle last winter.

View across a lake with reflections of the trees above. The lake has been partially cleared but clumps of bullrushes and areas of water lilies remain. A sluice gate bottom left through which some water trickles.

Taken at Sizergh Castle, Cumbria.

View across the lawns, gardens and lake towards the stately Sizergh Castle in the Lake District, UK. Moody clouds overhead and a flag flying from the roof. Huge deep green trees break up the manicured lawns.

A fantastic day out - castle, nature trails, vegetable garden, stumpery, orchard, lake, games for kids...run by the National Trust.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #Geese, any breed of Geese will do, the Alt Theme is #Robins

Got to be a robin from me. One of the friendly #SizerghCastle ones. So lovely, always remind me if my late mum and grandma, who loved them.

Photograph taken looking through tall, ornamental grass showing a child's sit-on car abandoned on a gravel path. Snapped on a visit to Sizergh Castle in the Lake District, UK, where they have an array of toys dotted about the grounds to entertain children.

A blue sit-on car with white wheels, white '01' on the side and a white seat is parked on a pale gravel path. In front are tall lime green grasses and dark brown seed heads in a flowerbed. Behind the car is a beautiful old grey stone and beyond that the tops of various trees and shrubs in various shades of green with a dash of burgundy.

Sizergh Castle is run by the National Trust and features lots of things to keep kids engaged from a woodland adventure course to skipping ropes, dressing up box, art easels and hobby horses. Nothing like staging a fake joust with your sibling to utterly humiliate the kid and cousins.
