Moorside

 Two more looks at Kingsmere Lake today.

I stared back up the slope to the cottages.

And looked back at the water.

Here I approached the guest cottage.

Most people proceed from here to Moorside along the main path. But for those who know it, there's a secondary path, and the better route.

Finding a quote by King from his journals reassures the visitor that they are on the right path.

The path leads to a wide meadow, and here we have two displays. As King became prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party, he understood that his country retreat needed to reflect that- a proper home to entertain guests, including world leaders. Moorside would be that home.

The meadow is wide, and surrounded on three sides by trees. This is what makes it my favourite approach to Moorside. 

And there's the house, at the far side of the meadow.
