...is for imagination...
Does it look familiar? Or just a load of rocks, water and boats? If you have read any Arthur Ransome you will have come across this in one of his books. I wanted to be the children in those books when I read them as a child, having adventures and camping over night on islands. This is Wild Cat Island from the book Swallows and Amazons if you have the book look at chapter four, the picture caption is feeling their way in. Whilst I had lots of amazing adventures as a child I had to wait until adulthood to have my own on the island, canoeing out to it for an explore. You are not able to camp on it but we found a great beach on the lake to have our own camp out. In real life this is Peel Island on Coniston Water a beautiful lake in the Lake District.

Imagination is a wonderful thing and can take us to all sorts of places and make all sorts of adventures in the places we find ourselves in too. What fun!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful. I absolutely loved all of the Arthur Ransome books when I was little. Such adventures!

ReplyDeleteLove this photo! :) Last week we were there! Really, really! We were camping 5 nights in Grizedale in the Lake District and we went for dinner one evening at the Sun Hotel in Coniston! :) We saw plenty of swallows while we were there and I photographed Ransome's gravestone. Now - I really ought to read the book!
