Pouring down again this morning with a forecast of high winds, the remnants of a hurricane apparently, great just as we have guests due to arrive from the Isle of Man tomorrow, I will be very surprised if the boat is not cancelled.
We had a couple of on-line reviews within 24 hours of each other, one was saying they enjoyed their stay but not room 2 because of uneven floors ( 300 year old cottage!!!) and the other couple recommending room 2, it just goes to show you cannot please all the people all of the time.
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.

Yesterday afternoon all of a sudden the clouds cleared and the sun shone, it was the Westmorland County Show so at least they had a good day, the torchlight procession takes place in Kendal tonight but it looks like that will be a wet one.
| These are a couple of pictures from our walk down to Cunsey yesterday The beck is in full spate |
| This is another post box the painter man has spruced up, as you can see it is a Victorian model. |
| Sue and Dan from the States checked out this morning and asked me to give a shout out to their friend Tom back home |

Matthew is participating in an event in London to raise money for Water Aid.
The aim is to carry 20 Litres of water (without spilling), 5 miles across London on foot, the more money raised, the less water they have to carry.
There will be mystery puzzles to solve on the way and a photo challenge to attempt.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated, click the link below to donate

Still no computer so using the one we have available for our guests to use.
On the weather front Saturday was awful with rain all day and yesterday was a brilliant sunny warm day, we headed off on the old favourite walk last night before supper aka Moss Eclles. Today sunshine and heavy showers.
These roses are a couple of specimens we have growing at home.
