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.

Went a walk today up to the Tarns. It was really sunny, in fact as I write this my neck feels a bit burnt! There were stunning views over to the Langdale Pikes. We had an email from a new blog watcher the other day. Someone who used to live in the village and emigrated to Australia a number of years ago. G'day to you and watch this space and you might see some familiar faces!
