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.

Yesterday was another awful day and we had a big turnout at Buckle Yeat so no chance to get out for a walk.
A much better day today with sunshine all day, we had a day off so we went for a good long walk in Grizedale Forest. We parked at High Cross then set off into the forest, all those trails look the same but we managed to do a round trip and we were walking for over two hours without getting lost.
Matthew has gone to London for a job interview, fingers crossed. He will be back tomorrow.

This one of the many mushrooms we came across today.
