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.

After another busy morning it was quiet again on the tea front. A few comings and goings with some people checking out and others checking in, we have a party of 4 Japanese guests who as soon as they got here the were out with the sketch pads and are busy drawing Buckle Yeat, last year there was a group in the village painting the house so I got talking to one of them and gave him a brochure, I am almost sure he is one of the 4 I will ask later.
Before tea we took a walk down to Esthwaite Water and along the lake shore and back to Buckle Yeat to stoke up the fire, yes it is June.
We had an email from a couple of regular customer Brian & Joyce, he has been waiting for a heart op and had many cancellations until finally he got the call and is now on the mend, good news.
It turns out the Japanese group are not the people I thought.
Switzerland v Ukraine at the moment, I think the inevitable penalty shoot out will be the best part of that game.
