We had a walk down to Esthwaite Water tonight, a brief dry spell in an otherwise wet day.



The Osprey is back on Esthwaite Water but keep it quiet its a secret.



We still have the Esthwaite Vale 2011 calendars available.

We had a walk over Claife Heights this afternoon, we needed to time the walk as we are putting together a few circular walks from Buckle Yeat.


Moss Eccles Tarn


The ferry from Harrowslack




I am guessing this is a young natterjack toad but will be happy to to informed otherwise.

It turned into a nice sunny evening and we had a quick walk up to the tarns before supper.


The farmers were all busy trying to take advantage of the brief dry spell.

We had an interesting letter at the weekend, it was from a publisher of the Farm Holiday Guides, last year we took up the offer to place and advert in a publication called Bed & Breakfast Stops in Britain, we got a great deal so took up the offer, this year they want to use the picture in our advert as the cover shot and also give us a free!!!! yes free advert and a credit on the inside cover. Not bad for a snapshot we took in 2006.


The picture in question.

The cosmopolitan theme continues with a group of 8 French motorcyclists checking out this morning, a young couple from Barcelona arriving and tomorrow 6 visitors from California USA are due in.
