I took a walk along the river Eden, my local river on Wednesday our first dry day for a long time. Water is fed into the river from the Pennine hills so the water level can quickly rise.

| The force of the river |
This is a view of the river in full flow. I am always respectful of how strong the current is as the water flows by very quickly. The ducks did not need to swim they just went with the flow.
 |
| A calm surface is deceptive of the power of the water |
Look at the trees and see how high the river rose as you look at the level of the flotsam in the branches.
 |
| Where's jetsam? |
The water level at its highest was up to almost the top of the bridge arches.
 |
| Water water everywhere |
There is an Eden Benchmark by the sculptor Frances Pelly called Cypher Piece. It is located near Lazonby Recycling Centre.
 |
| Can you see the face of a fish? |
 |
| The moss has added a new dimension to the sculpture |
There is a wonderful traditional shop in Penrith called N Arnison and Sons.
 |
| the shop front |
Upstairs in ladies wear there is an collection of evening bags which look to be from a time when people went to dinner dances.
 |
| Bags with bling |
 |
| Take your pick |
These are some of the adverts on the outside of the building.
 |
| Look at the date the shop was established |
 |
| Not all of these services are still available |
There are some beautifully shop fittings from times gone by.

| A beautiful white nightdress at a bargain price of £25 |
