After only a short wait, my calendar arrived safely, well packed and perfect - also, a whole lot cheaper than most of his contemporaries and of the highest quality. It has again been published by Cardtoons Ltd and this year features a wonderful view of the Langdale Pikes from Blea Tarn on the front cover. The pictures are exceptional and , given we can’t get to see the real thing for some while , all the more appreciated. All profits from the sale of these cards will help us to protect and care for the precious Lake District and Cumbrian landscapes.

The famous view of Haystacks as seen from Buttermere, illustrated in the style of old railway travel posters. For Jason, photography is more than a job; it is an opportunity to inspire with National Geographic, British Airways and Rough Guides representing some of the many high-profile clients Jason has inspired and worked with along his journey.

The calendar includes images of the Lake District contributed by members and the proceeds this year will be donated to Animal Rescue Cumbria. Containing 12 of my most popular Lake District Landscape Photographs from various locations around the Lake District. With not having been able to visit the Lake District for some time because of Covid, your the lovely pictures remind us of what we are missing.

My husband has it in his office and does not look at any of the photos until the first day of the relevant month!The Lake District 2023 calendar is bound, drilled and printed on A4 170gsm silk and opens out to A3 size once it’s hung on the wall. James Bell is super talented and captures the wonders of Lakeland so perfectly - we always look forward to the calendar which is a highlight. The shelter was an example of best practice in its early years but is now in urgent need of renovation and updating to continue to help animals and build on the legacy left by Alfred and Betty.
