Lingholm and Martindale with Mum

Mum has been up for a bit of R & R and we have had a couple of outings planned all week. For a few reasons neither have happened until today, but as luck would have it the weather has played ball and we have the perfect morning for a visit to Lingholm Kitchen


Lingholm was where Beatrix Potter spent her holidays and as such was the inspiration for many of her stories.

The Kitchen Garden was the inspiration for Mr McGregor's garden. It was rebuilt last year and is being beautifully maintained

After a coffee we walked down to the launch



Before walking back up to the kitchen garden and Cafe for a lovely lunch
Following a brief visit into Keswick to collect a few bits of shopping, we drove to Martindale to see the Red Deer again. This time the rut is getting underway and there was plenty of roaring 



A pair of Stags started having a fight while we were watching 










there were Deer all around - it just takes patience to get your eye in and spot them.

I didn't realise until I looked at this photo that there were two in this shot, a stag and a hind
