We have mangaged of couple of good walks between the showers this last couple of days.

We have a big party of Dutch residents in this week for a wedding at the weekend, they were lucky to get here considering the dramas at Schipol Airport yesterday.

We had a couple more famous names staying which I will add to the list, a Mr Chris Evans 

and a Mr Da Li (Salvador?)

I had never heard of Nor Moss??

We set of in good faith over to Wray Castle yesterday and the heavens opened!! we managed to shelter in the woods and then the day improved so we got to Wray Castle dry shared a sandwich and a piece of cake and headed back a slightly different route and found footpath we had never been on, a total of just over 10 miles according to my latest app ( boys and toys)

We have had a couple of wet walks these last few days so not much to take pictures of, I hate taking pictures on gloomy days.

At least it is dry this morning I have even managed to cut the grass.

Its Grasmere Sports today and it looks like they will be lucky with the weather.

We have no departures or arrivals today so hopefully we can get a good long walk in, Wray Castle is on the agenda I think.

Well what a lovely surprise!! Buckle Yeat won 1st prize in the Commercial Properties Floral Display Catagory 

And Roland delivered this big shiny cup this morning.

We had a lot of check outs and so a lot of washing this morning so unfortunately we were unable to make it to Hawkshead Show but after a wet start and even with a rubbish forecast the afternoon was mainly sunny and warm, although I bet it was a bit of a mud bath.

We did manage a walk though, the Cunsey round as we call it.

Spooky
