The weather gets no warmer! last year the tea garden was in full swing, this year we are putting heating on to warm the tea customers.
Derek and Vicky checked out this morning and will be back in 5 weeks.



We had a walk tonight down the Dub and then through Castle Wood.





A couple of shots of Wilfin Beck.



Daffs with Scutcheon House in the background. Anybody guess what Scutcheon means?

Thursday so it means we have to head to Kendal for shopping, we also needed to find some pipe to patch up the washing machine which failed yesterday.
We set off for the ferry only to find it out of action so we went south to Newby Bridge and headed to Kendal on the A590, a new section of dual carriageway opened this week taking traffic away from High and Low Newton.






Success on the washing machine front, we managed to find the section of hose I needed to repair the washer, not in the washing machine shop but in the tractor spares department of Haytons! the hose looked like it was made to measure.

We took these pictures when we arrived home and had a quick walk to Esthwaite Water.

Pictures taken from same place this morning as yesterday but a totally different view, that's the magic of the Lake District.






The village seems busier than Easter week although I think there are more children off school now than the Easter week proper.

This morning we had a sharp frost but it soon went as the sun shone all day.
I took these pictures as I walked to work this morning.





Footy tonight and boy what a game!!
Of course it was a penalty but hard luck Arsenal, bring on Chelsea

This morning the local council arrived to sort out a drain issue outside Buckle Yeat, I am not sure they helped the tea trade with jack hammers and pick axes in full swing, but the job needed to be done and it should be all sorted tomorrow.

Yesterday was a mixture of sun and snow showers, Denis had a walk up the village with my camera and took this classic shot of Near Sawrey with the snow covered in the background.
