Pouring with rain this morning and some of the showers were positively tropical. Surprisingly most guests decided to leave their cars and walk, brave souls. It did dry up and there were quite a few people up and down the village. It is half term this week and we expect it to be a bit busier than of late.
Jill, Bill and Holly the dog arrived this afternoon from Essex, they stay twice a year for 8 days at a time.
When we finished we had a quick walk down to the fish farm, on the way we spoke to Jimmy who lives next door and Willie who lives up in the village and was taking the dog for walk, Jimmy was telling us he got up early the other morning to check why his security light was on and there was a fox in his garden, Jimmy was the once the huntsman for the North Lonsdale Foxhounds.
