When is a horse not a horse?

By Sue_R  
Answer - When it's a hause Smile

Only, whatever this sign at Crummock Water may appear to show, hause and horse are not the same thing at all Smile

I had to look it up and discovered that, in Cumbria, hause means "stream at the pass". So now I know and so do you Smile

Happy Silly Sunday! Smile

Many thanks for your votes and comments on my last upload.
