A sign of decline or a sign of hope.
Things are changing in Lakeland. Barns needing roof repairs, intake walls disintegrating, field walls slowly disappearing, tree growth going unchecked and forests springing up over night.
The accepted wisdom seams to be that sheep create an unnatural desert and that diversity is the name of the game, let streams flow naturally and encourage the natural tree coverage to progress. The beloved "natural" landscape of the Lake District that found favour a generation ago is now anathema.
