We have had no water for a couple of hours this morning, a major burst in Hawkshead apparently, back on now but the laundry schedule has gone out of the window!! 

We had a walk to Rawlingsons Nab yesterday, lots of people messing about in boats.

The wild flowers on the footpath along the lake shore look like a cottage garden

Summer must be here Denis managed to pick a bunch of sweetpeas this morning

We had a big 8 mile hike yesterday over the tops to the lake shore and then down to Cunsey and back into the village.

These sheep are sheltering under a mountain ash

The bridle path along the lake shore has been resurfaced

Windermere looking north 

Summers on the way well thats what they are saying, its raining at the moment!!!

We have had a pretty good few days on the weather front, just a bit short of visitors, everyone is saying the same and the Olympics are getting the blame for the lack of of overseas tourists.

We had the butcher in yesterday bringing the sausages and bacon etc, he was saying they had just sent a big order of hams and sausages to Balmoral  looks like the the Queen will be on packed lunches and Phillips BBQ will be getting fired up.

A gloomy Moss Eccles
