After the great bank holiday weather back to winter yesterday and today so here are a few pictures of the garden taken the other day when the sun was shining, the prospects for the rest of the week are better.

Drama in the village today, neighbours of ours heard a smoke detector going off in a holiday cottage and went to investigate to find the kitchen full of smoke all the doors locked and the sound of a dog barking, they rang 999 and were told on no account open the door as there me be a danger of a back draft causing the whole place going up in flames.The fire brigade arrived and went in the house to find  two little Chihuahuas which sadly had been overcome with fumes, the holiday makers arrived back at the cottage and were understandably distressed.

At last I have managed to get some pictures, technology bah!!!!

Bank Holiday and the sun is shining how good is that after all mid week there was snow on the tops and it was hailing.

Matthew and his work colleagues are doing a sponsored walk/hike/climb in support of Water Aid and all the details are available by clicking the link below.

Water Aid Fund Raising

Saturday and its a bit wet but these pictures we took during the week on the shores of Esthwaite Water.

 Helen took these in a neighbours garden again we have lots of rabbits about but this cat is trying to keep the numbers down, no rabbits were harmed in the taking of these pictures, but what happened afterwards maybe different.
