Keswick --- a wintertime slideshow
Keswick is a small market town in the Lake District of Cumbria, and its traffic-free center is home to many pubs and restaurants. The town, nestled between Derwentwater and the high fells of Skiddaw and Blencathra, attracts both tourists and hikers to this area of outstanding natural and unspoiled beauty.
A popular circular drive passes clockwise around Derwentwater, over the Whinlatter Pass to Buttermere Valley, and thence back to Keswick over the Honister Pass.
Off of the Penrith Road, at the eastern outskirts of Keswick, a brown National Trust sign points towards Castlerigg Stone Circle. From this point, a narrow and steep minor road leads to this famous Neolithic monument, perfectly sited on a level plateau framed by the fells of Skiddaw, Blencathra and Hellvelyn. From Castlerigg, a public footpath heads back along farm tracks towards Keswick, eventually descending besides a wooded stream. Just before town, the small, steep rise of Castlehead Wood provides a panoramic view of Derwentwater and Catbells fell.
On December 17-18th 2010, our transatlantic visit to Keswick coincided with unusually cold and snowy weather. Fortunately, besides our cold-weather hiking gear, we'd packed a snow brush for the rental car (standard winter gear in NY State), and were thus able to drive and hike despite the winter conditions.

West Indies Federation
The West Indies Federation, also known as the Federation of the West Indies, was a short-lived political union that existed from 3 January 1958 to 31 May 1962. Various islands in the Caribbean that were colonies of the United Kingdom, including Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, and those on the Leeward and Windward Islands, came together to form the Federation, with its capital in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The expressed intention of the Federation was to create a political unit that would become independent from Britain as a single state—possibly similar to the Canadian Confederation, Australian Commonwealth, or Central African Federation; however, before that could happen, the Federation collapsed due to internal political conflicts. The territories of the federation eventually became the nine contemporary sovereign states of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago; with Anguilla, Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, and Turks and Caicos Islands becoming British overseas territories. British Guiana and British Honduras held observer status within the West Indies Federation.
