A Trip to the Seaside

 There are wonderful walks near Roeburnscar around Morecambe Bay--just make sure you avoid the dangerous quicksands . After heading towards Carnforth, go towards Warton then Silverdale. There's
Wolf House Gallery  and the cafe next door for tasty food. Also Leighton Moss , a great RSPB reserve is in this area.

Silverdale and Arnside

Surrounded by Woodland

Now the summer really is making it's presence known -the view when approaching the house

Bluebell Time

Bluebells near the old track below farmhouse

Wood next to river on way to Roeburnscar

It's a good year for bluebells--the late spring has meant the trees gave a dappled shade which they like instead of deep shadow. The smell of ramsons pervade everywhere-a lovely garlic smell  .

Louise's Artwork

Louise's latest photos of the trees, garden and flowers lend an Impressionistic look around the house 

The meadow adjoining the house

The pond in the garden looks like a Monet!

Winter View

Looking towards Ingleborough--snow banking up to stone walls going down to Wray meant that in April we were driving through tunnels of snow!

Bees

 As I am an ardent fan of insects I have signed the petition urging Owen Patterson the agriculture minister, to support the ban on insecticides which are killing our bees. At present he is planning to vote against. Here is a link sign the petition

Before and After

It's hard to get a picture of the house when the trees are full of leaves--we can just about see the house from the meadow see below otherwise we can only photo from the river

The cottage just after the flood in1967----spot the difference!!!
