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.

I took this picture yesterday down on the shore of Esthwaite Water
This is taken from the same spot looking towards the village, the three largest properties in the village are pictured, from left to right Ees Wyke, The Garth and Sawrey House.
Off to Kendal for a much needed shop today, and it has been sunny all day.
After we did the shop we went to visit Helen's Auntie Margaret in Burton, she is Denis’s elder sister and has been suffering with a cold for a few weeks, she is on the mend now.
Kendal was surprisingly quiet considering it was market day; we had to go via Ambleside because the ferry was out of action all day due to maintenance work.
