 Sis and I spent 3 days last week enjoying the quietness of Bowness and Windermere that the Autumn season brings to the Lakes now the crowds have returned to their home towns and are no doubt on the countdown to the festive season. What a wonderful Autumn of colour we have  had this year and on our second day we walked from Windermere to Far Sawrey which was the Home of Beatrix Potter for many years . The woods were lush with the beautiful leaves and mosses ,berries and birds and we only saw a couple of people on our whole afternoon out. After a well earned lunch, which was delicious, at the Tower Bank arms we emerged to be greeted with one of the most scenic views we have ever witnessed of a rainbow ... a perfect way to leave such a pretty place.

A New Year...A new start Lets forget last year ...horrible but bearable with the help of my special friends and my sister and her lovely family. So onwards and upwards as they say ! Kitty the lovely little Tabby cat that turned up in the garden Nov 2014 is a firm member of the family much to Ollie's disgust but our delight. She is so soft and loving and is my companion in the study as I write this . So we have lots of plans in store this year ,changes being made and places to go and also to  just go with flow, as last year showed us that you haven't got a hell of a clue what's waiting round the corner! Certainly showed me that !
