A friend told me about this - sounds fun. Cumbria Crack  are putting on a World class kite display  on Sat 15 - Sun 16 Aug 11am - 5pm.  It's ticketed so you need to pre-book.  £6 per car. I think there is space to get out, have a picnic and watch the Kites....

A great swoosh before heading back to Ings

Some great bike rides nearby - check out details on our website: Biking from the door

Who can resist a More's Bakery Chocolate Muddy - perfect for a rainy day with some great coffee.  There's lots open in Staveley - our nearest village - great cafes, coffee shops and pubs.  Check out our What's Open 4 Food on our website

Bruce enjoying a dunk in an old tin bath at Kentmere Farm Pods.   I'm heading out to swim myself.  Wallowing in the River Kent is certainly refreshing but I fancy swimming in  Windermere today.

Great backrest if you need a nap.  Out and about in the Kentmere Valley

Out with the limewash - following traditional Lakeland farming practice of painting  around barn doors so you can see the entrance on a dark night.  It works really well!!

Forgot the life-jackets so paddled and swam in the shallows
