Out with the old.
In with the new.
Yesterday I took the old fire place surround out, then today
we had a new one fitted. I fitted the old one myself 28 years
ago, who would believe I have actually paid someone to fit
the new one! There are more regulations now, it's had being
a DIY man, you are not allowed to mess with gas or electrics.
I think I will chuck my tools away!!!!!!!
I was a real cowboy but I was good.
Next thing a new carpet and then a new three piece suite all
before August.
Things we see and do.
See us on You Tube.

was a poor month for FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!

Tomato plant care.
Alison just click on the link and you will see what I mean.
http://www.photoworks.com/slideshow/album/AD023D239CEA?source=pw980
Watering is very important with tomatoes you must not miss a day, the
compost must be a constant damp. If it dries then you water to catch
up the, skins of the tomato will crack.
This often happens when friends look after them while you are away.

Elterwater to Grasmere.
Today is the last day of our walking holiday it’s been the hottest and driest
week we have had in the lakes in all the years we have been coming here.
On average we've walked over ten miles a day, clocking up seventy miles
in total. We have dawdled most of the time and took in all the sights and
sounds of the area, it's been a rieght gud week. Father and son time.
A little bit of Yorshire in there it's how we talk.
An old slate workings near Rydal. I don't need the sticks to walk, they are
just a great help you wouldn't believe how much help they are!
No no no I'm not going in there, wild horses could not drag me into a cave.
Me looking in our Steven looking out, I like nothing heavier than a cloud
over my head. That's the reason I went into the Steelworks and not down
the mine with my father and four brothers.
These stepping stone could have been put here originally by the Romans,
there is an ancient Roman Fort near by at Clappersgate. That's the thing
with walking you can dream with your eyes open, life's great init.

Just another easy stroll.
In bygone days these would have been slate workers dwellings.
Strolling in the countryside, easy!
They say if the cattle lay down it's going to rain, too true.
Another farmyard, another dog.
These are not the bonniest sheep I've seen, I think they are a very old breed.
The cattle knew something was a foot with the weather, we had to put a
spurt on to miss this lot, we won but it just blew over.

Walking round this car took my eye I think it was the reg that did it.
Lots of people, lots of boats.
The first memorial to the fallen in the Boer War that I've ever seen.
At the bottom it says "for sovereign and empire" what rubbish!

Ambleside Village.
Lowland walks.
There are lots of pubs where you can get food and drink, it can't be bad!
Walk through farms, I'm not vegetarian but I don't eat Beef. How could
anyone eat these two beast after looking in their eyes. These two were
waiting to go to the slaughter house, just look at their faces honestly. Everything was in bloom.

Bluebell Woods.
At this time of year the woodland floor is covered with Bluebells,
they grow mainly in Britian and Ireland, rarely anywhere in Europe
and no where else in the world.
Every school child will pick them at least once to take home for
mum, but soon learn it is a wast, as they wilt almost immediately
and die within a day.
