A selection of Tarn Hows pictures

The things people say part 3. A lady who was staying with us was picked up by a family member and introduced her as " my son in laws wife" that will be your daughter then!!

Not a lot of people are aware of the giant pandas in the Lakes

Today it is so gloomy and dark we have the outside lights in the afternoon.
These picture were taken the other day on a walk we had, we parked in Coniston village and then walked a part of the Cumbrian Way before branching off up to Tarn Hows, round the tarn and then back down the road into Coniston.

The things people say part 2 a couple checking out yesterday morning and planning a return trip next April the gentleman turned to his wife/partner and said "when is your birthday?" OOPS IF LOOKS COULD KILL!!!

A late night last night!! the sat nav curse struck again, one gentleman took a full hour and a quarter to get from Newby Bridge to Sawrey, don't ask!!
I stumbled on this web site dedicated to the villages of both Near and Far Sawrey, what a good idea take a look
The new village web site

The 1st weekend in December Hawkshead is the place to be for the festivities, why not combine it with a 2 night stay at Buckle Yeat @ £70 per room per night B&B

Hawkshead Christmas Fair

Moss Eccles looks like it is covered in some kind of scum but it is thousands of pine needles which have drifted to one end of the tarn

The autumn colours are looking good in the late season sunshine, I took the top picture this morning and the other two were taken by Joyce who stayed last week.
The movie Miss Potter was on again at the weekend and last night Celebrity Antiques Road Trip featured a visit to Hill Top, this must be the reason there is an awful lot of disappointed Potter fans turning up to find the house closed.
