The good weather has kept Mr McGregor busy these last few weeks and he passed £300 + onto the committee of the Tarn Hill Playground which was greatly appreciated

On this day the 17th June 1954 this young couple got married happy diamond wedding Denis and Margaret pictured here recently at our Rachels wedding,they  back home from Spain tomorrow and the card from the Queen should be here soon ( hopefully!!)

 I had to abandon the garden watering this morning as I could not get near because of visitors taking pictures of the garden and Mr McGregor

 And so the list of famous names who have been staying at Buckle Yeat goes on, a Mr David Cameron checked out the other day!!
We had guests in this weekend attending a wedding in Hawkshead, the transport was provided by  a shuttle service using local taxis and the taxi driver told them he had also been taxi driver at another wedding in the area which was attended by Princess Beatrice, its a secret so let it go no further!!!

We have had a real international flavour at Buckle Yeat this last couple of weeks with visitors from France,Italy, Spain, Australia, U.S.A. Ireland and of course Japan.

This lady from Utah checked out this morning and showed Helen this quilt she is making apparently it is a copy of a famous Jane Austen quilt.

What a stunning late afternoon this is Moss Eccles around 6pm taken on my phone.
A fantastic picture even if I say so myself!!! 

A quick walk down to Esthwaite Water last night to see if we could spot the Osprey, success we saw the nest and there seems to be one bird sitting and the other patrolling around chasing off geese and seagulls if they get to close, very impressive.

The flag iris are stunning.
