It has been a great autumnal day (well if you take out the footy score).
Some old friends and customers returned today after and absence of three years. Jan & Jeff from London, it is good to see them.
Just the one room free tonight and then we are full all week till Friday when again just one room left.

A quiet uneventful week, we have been quiet on the B&B front so have been catching up on a bit of decorating and sourcing some new bedlinen for a couple of rooms, great fun!!
The weather has taken a turn for the worse today with a fine drizzle all day, we are expecting gales if the weather man is to be believed.

A quick joke Helen spotted in the paper the other day,
A man goes into a monastery and finds himself in the kitchen, he spots a someone peeling potatoes, "are you the Friar?" he asks,"No" says the man "I'm the chip monk"

Re the visit from the hotel inspector a couple of weeks ago, apparently we did very well and have been given a Silver award.

Sunday was a dreary day after all the sunshine of the previous day, I took the in-laws down to John Lennon Airport Liverpool to catch their flight to the Costa del Sol for a couple of weeks.
We had a good run down although there is a lot of roadworks on the M6.
We kept seeing a sign which said "Speed cameras not in use" I am sorry but I do not understand the purpose of those signs, are they trying to kid us into driving to fast!!!

Variations on a gate theme, the new one will blend in in time.

September so far has been a cracking month and today was a fantastic sunny day, we had a full house with no departures hence no incoming guests so we took the chance for a good long walk. We walked up over Claife Heights and then through Low Wray and on to Outgate, we then crossed the road and went up to Barngates, a quick refreshment stop at the Drunken Duck before setting off towards Tarn Hows, we then walked through Hawkshead Hill before joining the footpath over to Hawkshead church then on to Roger Ground and then along the back of Estwaite Water and back into the village phew!!!
