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.

There was more snow in Sawrey than in Lancaster. I was quite surprised to come home and see a thin covering. It has gone really cold tonight, it is going to be icy tomorrow. I had a walk up the road and took some photos, there was a rabbit in the second photo but i think it ran behind the trees before I could take it.
I read something on the internet today saying that because of the Miss Potter film and the hype about the the South Lakes (one of the trendiest places in the world!), popular baby names in 2007 are going to be Rydal, Kendal, Lonsdale, Newby, Ambleside (poor child), Wray and Rothay. Not entirely sure if they will be boy or girl names or both. The funniest bit I read is that Sawrey is also going to be a popular girls name and Tom Cruise's new baby was mistakenly called Suri instead of Sawrey!

Hi!
That sounds like a greta story (re baby names). Where did you see that?
