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.

A couple of pictures Helen took yesterday on our way to Kendal, the weather is not pleasant but at least we are not having the snow and frost of last year. There is a lot of snow on the higher ground above Coniston and Ambleside.
Helen and her mum have been busy making lots and lots of mince pies today and I got on with digging in some manure in the garden whilst Denis was on soup duty and made a very tasty leek and potato soup for lunch mmmmmmmmmmm.
