*Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry*.
Arriving 01.03.26.
Don't miss the journey.

#ShortForm #PoetryCommunity #BookMarketing #LakesToFells #ComingSoon #booksky
A dramatic, high-contrast wide shot of Great Gable peak at dawn, where the sharp mountain ridges gradually dissolve into fluid, dripping black ink strokes. The sky is a moody wash of charcoal and indigo, rendered in a gritty, textured lithograph style with atmospheric mountain mist.

"Saturday shifts. Finalizing the typesetting for *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry*. Ensuring the white space on the page breathes just like the air atop Helvellyn. It’s all in the details. Publication is inching closer.

#AmEditing #WritingProcess #IndiePub #BehindTheBook #Work
A cinematic macro shot of a designer’s desk in North Yorkshire, featuring a stack of cream-colored paper proofs. A vintage fountain pen rests beside a page where the printed serif text subtly dissolves into a misty, hand-drawn charcoal sketch of the Great Gable peaks. The lighting is warm and autumnal, casting long, soft shadows across the paper's tactile grain.

"The breath of Helm Crag settles on the glass,
Where morning weaves a shroud of silver-grey.*
The weekend is for wandering, even if only in the mind. Let *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry* be your guide come March 1st.

#Grasmere #MorningVerse #Poetry #NatureLovers #WeekendVibes"
A conceptual, painterly image of an open book where the pages transform into the rolling, silhouetted fells of Cumbria. Soft morning light catches the edges of the paper, blending into a misty, watercolor sky of slate and pearl. The mood is contemplative and dreamlike, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on the harmony between literature and the natural world.

"This isn't just a book; it’s a ticket to the fells without the blisters. *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry* drops March 1st. If you love Wordsworth or Wainwright, this collection belongs on your shelf. Set your reminders now.
#BookRecs #MustRead2026 #PoetryCollection #LakeDistrictUK
A rustic flat-lay featuring a minimalist poetry book resting on a weathered oak table. Beside it sits a vintage brass compass, a sprig of dried purple heather, and an antique hand-drawn map of the Lake District. Soft, warm morning light through a cottage window creates long, atmospheric shadows and highlights the tactile texture of the paper.

"They say a Yorkshireman in Cumbria is a spy, but I claim ‘cultural observer.’ *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry* is the result of many wet socks, ruined notebooks, and very strong tea. March 1st, you can read the results of my damp suffering.

#YorkshirePoet #HikingLife #WriterProblems
A close-up, high-detail photograph of a battered, water-stained leather notebook resting on a jagged slate rock in the Lake District. Droplets of rain cling to the ink-blurred pages, beside a steaming vintage tin mug. The background shows a soft-focus, moody vista of mist-covered fells and dark green valleys under a heavy, overcast sky.

"It is official. My new collection, *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry*, arrives on March 1st, 2026. A journey through the rugged heart of the North, captured in ink and rhythm. From a North Yorkshire desk to the Cumbrian heights, the bridge is built. Mark the date.
#PoetrySky #NewRelease
A moody, high-contrast photograph of a minimalist writing desk in a North Yorkshire cottage. On the desk sits a heavy glass inkwell and a fountain pen, with a stack of parchment. The shadows are deep, but a singular, sharp beam of light illuminates a hand-drawn map of the Lake District fells merging into handwritten stanzas. The aesthetic is tactile, scholarly, and atmospheric.

A beautiful autumn day at Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria.
It is the subject of the Landscape Artist of the Year 2026 on Sky Arts tonight (Freeview channel 36).
I wonder what views will inspire them 🤔
#keswick #lakedistrict #cumbria #lakes #mountains #nature #art #photography #eastcoastkin
A landscape view of Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria, England on a sunny September afternoon. The lake is calm, steel grey in colour, but in places it reflects the blue sky and white fluffy clouds. In the foreground are two thin trees on the left, their leaves beginning the autumnal change from green to brown. A wooden gate and wire fence are in the shallows of the lake due to high water. The wooden fence posts run further into the distance. In the background is the outline of some of the North Western Fells including Catbells and Causey Pike. The colours of the trees and fells also just starting to change from green to autumnal hues of brown.

Exactly one year ago (07/01/2025) looking across Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria to some of the North Western Fells including Causey Pike on a bitterly cold changeable afternoon.

A Lakeland view at Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria, England on a cold winters day across a grey lake to a snowy mountain landscape. These are some of the North Western Fells covered in snow. Causey Pike in the middle is the highest in the image. There is a row of dark trees at the far lakeshore in front of the fells. The sky is full of heavy white grey clouds, with a tiny bit of blue sky at the top left of the picture.

#ParkRun runners in #Cumbria should be aware that Fell Foot has had to cancel due to the course being flooded.

Other events are unaffected in the area, but if you were planning to travel to Fell Foot - please don’t.

#LoveParkRun
Fell Foot parkrun CANCELLED tomorrow (20th December) Sorry folks, but a large part of the course is under water, the cafe is closed, it's raining in central lakes and the becks and waterfalls are still streaming down. We've made the decision to cancel now, rather than fight a losing battle. Hopefully you can still get your parkrun fix tomorrow. At present, it doesn't look like any other local events are off. We'll be back on Saturday 27th December for your last chance to get a 2025 season's best! In the meantime, thank you for your understanding, and continued support. Merry Christmas all, from your Fell Foot parkrun core team.
