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.

Mr McGregor has been a very popular attraction in the last few days - collecting over £20 for the Tarn Hill playground in the last two days.
This is a chaffinch taking a break at the ferry landing, we thought it was in trouble but all of a sudden it was away.
The weather has held up ok today after torrential rain overnight.
We had a visit at home by a woodpecker feeding on the bird feeder, and when I was at Buckle Yeat this morning I spotted a juvenile lesser spotted woodpecker on the feeder, in the Westmorland Gazette there is a picture of an albino woodpecker.
