Welcome to another week of #WeeklyWonders, a snap-sharing-blog-linky series celebrating the wonders of life.
One week following my husbands ‘wonderful walk’ from Coniston to Barrow, I felt it a rather fitting time to share this stunning snap of Coniston Water (Yep, ‘Water’ because believe it or not, the Lake District only has one lake and that isn’t Coniston – Google it if you don’t believe me…). This week marks a rather historical moment as the famous Bluebird ‘planed’ for the first time in almost sixty years since Donald Campbell lost his life trying to break the records back in 1967.
Whilst I’d love to say that I was stood in the crowds watching this memorable moment, unfortunately I was busy working. However, with Coniston practically on our doorstep I’m sure we will get the chance to see Bluebird in action at some point.
Thanks for reading my #WeeklyWonders post. I look forward to catching up and commenting on your #WeeklyWonders snaps.

Cela fait bien longtemps que je n’avais entendu le nom de Donald Campbell et de son célèbre Blue Bird. Cela me rappelle mon enfance. Je me rappelle ce véhicule si étrangement profilé et de cet homme qui établissait records de vitesse sur records de vitesse….
What a stunning photo!
What a shame you missed Bluebird’s return. I hope you get to see it in the future.
This is my first time visiting. I found you through Peacea’s Scribbles. Interestingly we have a lake in Western Australia – Kale Dumbleyung where Donald Campbell broke the world water speed record in 1964. They have a replica and information in the town, where we visited recently. Have a great week. and thankyou for the linkup.
What a beautiful scenery capture. Our earth certainly is a wonder. Thank you for the link up.
