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 was mother in law Margaret's birthday yesterday and so we all went out to the Tower Bank for a meal, Max the young lad who works there took this picture.We all enjoyed the night with good food and wine.
This morning we headed for Kendal and were surprised to find the ferry operating, it wasn't this afternoon.
Torrential rain all day and a number of flood warnings are in place, Carlisle is bracing itself for more floods.The water level in Windermere is very high and I guess that is why the ferry was suspended.
Kendal was busy with Christmas shoppers,we called in at the carpet shop to try to choose a new stairs carpet at Buckle Yeat, the stairs need replacing so that is the next big project for us this winter.
