Spring on Catbells

First time this year that I've taken Skye out without needing to wear a coat - really warm though rather hazy.  Feels more like May than March.  Plenty of visitors enjoying both the walk around Derwentwater and climbing Catbells.  Skye loves saying hallo to everyone and I enjoy stopping for a chat.  Saw our first lambs a couple of days ago and today there seem to be daffodils everywhere. 
Causey Pike with its characteristic bump on the top - a nice little scramble!
Didn't have time to go all the way up Catbells today because I need to take advantage of the good weather to get on with painting the house - didn't quite finish it last summer but the views both across Newlands Valley and across Derwentwater to Keswick were lovely.
