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.

Not much blog action at the moment - I apologise. Only had one email complaining so far! Finally a nice day to enjoy. A couple of friends from University are in the Lakes for a while and i'm guessing this will be their first totally dry day. Just watching Murray (not Andy, his brother Jamie) in the doubles semi final. Doubles is much more interesting than singles! Good to see Liverpool got rid of the surplus strikers, in fact almost broke even for them! There will be some more photos on the blog soon, not much fun going out in the rain to take them!
