Torrential rain this morning but yet again the sun broke through and we had a great afternoon of sun.

A quick walk to Esthwaite Water tonight and we tried to walk along a lakeside path; the problem was the level of the lake is so high that the path is under water. The good side of the high water level is the absence of the green algae, which usually blights the lake at this time of year.

Busy again in the village and Hill Top sold out mid afternoon, the beauty of Near Sawrey though is by 4.30pm the biggest majority of visitors have dispersed and the village is once more tranquil.
