Well the Bank Holiday weather turned out to be OK, a bit cool but it dried up each day, it is supposed to be getting warmer by the weekend and next week, a few rooms still available next week plug plug!!

This is a gift a guest left for Helen, don't worry she let me share them.

It seemed the clouds were lifting after torrential rain overnight but sadly the rain is back.
Dentist today for us both.

Eat your heart out Chelsea, when in doubt take some flower pictures.
Sunshine today and Denis has been busy preparing the wall tops for the geraniums and begonias, he has added some of his magic fertiliser, secret recipe but totally organic, well it smells organic!!!

A classic Lakes day on the weather front 4 seasons in one day. We even have the spectre of the volcanish ash looming over Scotland and the North East
People keep telling us how much they are desperate for some rain at home but then complain when it rains here, I do understand nobody wants rain on holiday.

It dried up just in time for the festivities

We are having a wild wet spell of weather, its the Brathay Marathon this morning and the Sawrey May Queen  procession this afternoon so lets hope the sun shines. Looking back at last year it was baking hot

We had our latest ever room enquiry last night just before mid-night a gentleman rang and woke us up asking if we had vacancies for the night!!! needless to say I was very polite.

A garden boon day today with strimmer hedgecutter and lawnmower in action, Helen has been busy making bread.
Good news on the Olympic front the Olympic torch will be passing close by in fact it will be staying overnight in Bowness on Windermere, I would like to think it will be passing through the village and crossing the ferry but very much doubt it.

Al last the rain has stopped and I managed to get a couple of pictures of the garden.

Blogger has been out of action for a day or two but is back online today, it has turned a lot cooler and plenty of heavy showers.
We took these few pictures the other day on the old favourite walk up to the tarns.

 More bluebell pictures I'm afraid this time in Castle Wood.
I am just trying out a new feature on the blog where you can get an e-mail when a new post has been added just subscribe in the box on the right and let me know if it works

The greenhouse is bursting with plants and hanging baskets ready for the summer

Denis took this last picture this morning at the back of  Buckle Yeat.

 Lakeland cam paid a visit to the village yesterday morning, it was raining at the time but later the sun came out and it was a lovely day.http://www.lakelandcam.co.uk/

A stunning picture of Loughrigg Tarn!!! sadly not mine, this was taken by Stewart Greaves and features in the Westmorland Gazette publication "The Beautiful Lakes"

Just a few more shots of the stunning Bluebells, its quite windy but still sunny.

The Bluebells are at their best just now we had a walk through the woods yesterday and they were stunning.
No signs of any snakes thankfully.
