Whew! Close call there--I'm so glad they left the stile, so people can still get to the Roman Fort ruins ;-)

Hi Tony and Ben. The stolen birds really burns. I was in Grange in early May to visit the grave of a very dear friend in Lindale churchyard. We did a couple of trips to the Commodore and stopped to view the birds. Good quote from Malcolm X.
I hope the cad gets bird flu or something nastier.

"A bee-line for the top..." I see what you did there! Ha-ha-ha :-)

Tony, I think those 3 ducks have set of determinedly to find a tarn that actually has some water in it, after your mud flats photos today. Gwen south coast NSW

Hi Tony - I'm vicariously enjoying the glorious weather in the Lakes, but please, can you keep some of it in reserve? I'm coming up there for at least a week from 14th July (a few days in Borrowdale and a few near Esthwaite), and am getting a bit concerned that all the good weather will be used up by then!

Thanks for yesterday's tip about re-stocking my Yorkshire Gold tea!
My dream is to pick it up directly from Bettys...!!

Hi Tony. Such wonderful photos today again. A real joy to see them. But the very best is a playful Sir Ben. He looks quite happy with his stick. Please give him a pet from me? Thank you. I also love your lunch. A nice ham salad instead of fish and chips with mushy peas. I agree, both are lovely but the salad would be so much better for me. :)) All the best from just North of Rotterdam, Lydia (NL)

Tell Marcia from Pa that Yorkshire Gold tea is available from grocery stores in British Columbia, Canada and she could get someone to send it to her cheaper than from England.
