4 seasons in a day with this weather!
Derek and Vicky pitched up this morning in time for breakfast, their first visit of the year.
Grand National day today and we had a small flutter but will not be retiring on the proceeds.
Liverpool played out another 1-1 draw with Arsenal,a good result for us but it means nothing unless they can come away from the 3rd game on Tuesday with a positive result.




We had a walk up the tops and then called into the Tower for a quick pint, then back home for tea.

These pictures taken this evening at "Pigling Bland Corner"





The Japanese guy checked out this morning and I gave him a lift to Hawkshead to catch a bus to Grasmere, he kindly gave me a couple of gifts, a set of Japanese cotton coasters and a small coin purse for Helen, it is a kind of custom for Japanese to leave gifts, they must have to pack for their holidays with gift giving tradition in mind.

This first picture looks like the Lake District but is in fact the Olympic National Park in Washington State taken by Buena a former guest and avid blog watcher, thanks Buena.






It has been a stunning day, the weather man says snow and freezing temperatures at the weekend.
We headed off to Kendal for some shopping.


This video was taken on the Ferry across Windermere this morning.

It has been a lot better weather wise these last 2 days, we had a boon day in the garden at Buckle Yeat and lopped lots of branches off a big Laurel near the garden shed.
Last day of the week for teas and although it has been Easter things have not been as busy as last year.
We have a couple of rooms free tonight, it was going to be very quiet but we picked up a Japanese gent for a couple of nights and a couple rang this morning and booked in for a couple of nights as well.
Big match tonight, Liverpool v Arsenal at the Emirate Stadium, a tough game!

After a sunny day yesterday we are back to cool showery weather today.


This morning I spotted a cuckoo on the bird feeder and managed to get this picture with a zoom lens.
