Easy Riders

Another brilliant sunny day in Sawrey
Quite a busy tea time after a slow start, we lit the BBQ again , two days in a row is good, salmon tonight, very very tasty.
Had a walk up the village later on and bumped into Heather having a practice on her new set of wheels.




In a couple of weeks of time the Sawrey Marrow Show is on and with a bit of luck we will be there,and will have some interesting pictures.

D & V

Derek & Vicky arrived this morning just in time for breakfast, they are regular visitors to Buckle Yeat and have been coming to stay with us for almost 30 years,4 or 5 weeks a year,if we gave clocks for long service theirs would be ready for a refit by now.
This is a picture for Jan & Jeff, I'm pretty sure Derek will have sent them a gloating text by now.



Three points for England in the World cup qualifier (just)
A really nice day again, so when we finished had a walk to the fish farm for some prawns to put in to a savoury rice dish that Helen makes, then back to light the BBQ, gammon, delicious.

Who you looking at?



No luck on the lotto tonight so that means work tomorrow, watching Poland v Austria at moment great game, just finished 3-2 to the Poles, a draw would have been better for England

Day Off?

No teas today so a bit of a break in routine, I cut the grass at Buckle Yeat and Matthew did the weeding and cut the grass at home.
Then we had a full afternoon off and managed to enjoy this typical lakes weather.
There has been a sighting of the Ospreys on Estwhaite water tonight, I never seem to see them.

Who pays the ferryman

Kendal again for the shopping, it was really busy, we thought it was because there was a lot of kids buying all their requirements for back to school, college etc etc.
This is one of the busiest shops in Kendal, the famous KENDAL CUT PRICE est 1985



Quite a small shop today so not to late home, and on the way back over the ferry I went up into the cabin, this is Stuart who was at the controls while Peter was collecting the fares

Back home just in time to show the last guests in and unload all the shopping, and then managed an hour sat in the warm September sun.
