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.

It has been another scorcher today with temperatures hitting the high 70s.
I gave Kathy and her daughter a lift down to the ferry after breakfast, the ferry was not running but the launch was so they hopped on that and sailed into Bowness Bay.
No guest were due to arrive till late so after we had finished we took a walk along to Far Sawrey bought a couple of ice creams from Sawrey Stores and walked up Cuckoo Brow Lane round Moss Eccles and back down Coopers Lane, we hardly saw any tourists, the only people we spoke to were Cliff in his garden(pictured}and Gary and Melvin cutting wood up by Scutcheon House.
The rhododendrons are coming to their best at the edge of the tarn.
