How about this for a recommendation,this is from the gentleman who gave me the clever bottle opener and these are some of his pictures

"We had a most enjoyable stay at B.Y.
 and we have been telling everyone about it. We believe that everyone in the hospitality business could learn a thing
or two (or more) by staying with you for a while and
 seeing how you and the family operate a truly welcoming and hospitable business."
Thank you for that

Regular Blog watcher walking his dogs!!
Thats what he told me!



At last a bit of settled weather we had a good long walk down passed Eel House and through the woods along the Cunsey road before reaching the footpath along the shores of Windermere, good job we had our wellies on the path was a foot under water for part of the way, we went along Rawlinsons Nab and then back up into Near Sawrey for refreshments

Thats it a double bank holiday has been and gone, Sawrey is busier today than any day over the weekend.
We seem to be getting targeted by some junk mail via the comments page, if it does not improve we will have to disable the comment feature, but don't forget we are now on twitter which is easy peasy.
