Re: Happy Sunday Folk.
Good morning Alan and everypme else of coursehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEszTzdUMcY
It is fine at the moment after a night of heavy rain and we are supposed to stay that way now for the rest of the day, it is a bit on the nippy side though but supposed to warm up as the day progresses. Mother Natures creatures are out in force, possibly celebrating a dry morning for a change.
Plans for today are for a walk around Grasmere with lunch at some local establishment followed by an afternoon of relaxing with a book in the company of Napoleon.
This house was built to save having to pay a window tax over 300 yrs ago. Unfortunately that little fiddle did not work and the chap got taxed on both sides of the Ghyll.
It is in Ambleside ,over Stock Ghyll. The local tale is that it was built as an Apple store and Summer house if you want to believe some authors. I think that story has been put out by the National Trust who own the property.
Lovely Autumn picture Alan
Have a great day everyone

Re: Happy Sunday Folk.
Good morning all, hope everyone is safe and dry after the overnight storms..Trying out the new local Aldi this morning as we've never been in before, and we are hosting a 75th birthday celebration next week for my BIL so we will need to locate a few supplies....
Nothing else on the cards, I'm just cooking spaghetti for lunch and then we will be by the fire with a book this afternoon methinks...Enjoy your day folks.

Good morning everybody, and what a wet one it is too! Looks like there's been a lot overnight and now its just drizzling. Hope everybody here hasn't been affected badly by all the rain.Plans for the day are to return some trainers I got 6 weeks ago from Carlisle which are faulty and ask for my money back and then as a birthday treat my neighbours are taking me to see the new James Bond film in Carlisle
Haven't been to the cinema for well over 10 years so it will be a treat Lovely photos Alan and AB.

Re: Happy Sunday Folk.
Good morning fellow members a bit late today as I am juggling jobs and the power was been going on and off.Thank goodness for the laptop with battery which does give me a bit of leeway online .
The early sun has gone and it is now cold and grey, we are surrounded by water but not in it thank goodness.
I have just made a batch of bread rolls and you will all hear me swear if the power goes off when they are cooking though it seems ok now
. Lots more jobs to do including the ironing .
Enjoy you day everyone and stay safe
