More about this scene

The hamlet at the foot of Buttermere in the western Lake District takes its name from the lake; it is still the farming settlement it has always been. This view looks up the lake towards the skyline peaks of Fleetwith Pike on the left and Haystacks on the right.

My sister Muriel and I attended buttermere school.I passedmy 11plus and went to Keswick school as a boarder.Muriel passed hers two years later and went to Cockermouth grammar. During the years culminating in 1948 (the war years)I recall Butter ere as being an idyllic place to have a childhood. School with our wonderful teacher Mrs Beattie was a real joy.Mrs Beattie travelled from Workington every day by miter bike.
