The rain stayed off for the festivities in Near and Far Sawrey this afternoon and the sun is trying to break through.

A damp dreary day today which is a shame as its Sawrey May Fair this afternoon, hopefully it dries up.
We were awoken by the phone ringing in the early hours not a great time for a phone call the conversation went like this
Me "Hello"
Man "Hello is to early to ring?"
Me " I dont know what time is it?
Man " 6am I was not sure what time you got up"
Me " Well its to late you have already rung"
It was some booking agent changing a booking in August!!! It just couldn't wait.

Another funny phone call yesterday after breakfast a guest had just got up from the table after his breakfast and rang from his room for the Wi-Fi code, isn't technology wonderful?

These first two pictures are locals gardens in the village I snapped after a walk up to the tarns last night.

 At 7am it was pouring down and at 7.45am on my way up to Buckle Yeat I took these three pictures!
Me and Denis had a run through to Kendal right after breakfast to pick up hundreds of begonia plants we had ordered from  a guy on the market, Denis was well pleased with the quality of the plants and we have been busy making up some baskets for the summer, if there is a problem they may peak too early

An ingenious gate closing method!!!

Stone bench very low maintenance 

We still have availability for the coming bank holiday, so what are you waiting for?
