Buckle Yeat is situated in the village of Near Sawrey. The name Buckle Yeat is over 300 years old and it means fasten the gate.In years gone by the gate referred to would be the gate to the village. Near Sawrey was once home to the children's writer Beatrix Potter about whom the movie Miss Potter is all about. Hill Top Farm where she wrote many of her stories is a museum and is open to the public.

No photos today but spotted a good one for tomorrow in Hawkshead. Some locals have put a big inflatable light-up snowman on a roof in the village. It looks quite impressive. We didn't hear the explosion from down south. Apparently it was heard in Holland. I guess the hills affect it around here. Hawkshead wasn't very busy today, think everyone did their spending yesterday!
