That was a damp August…..
September 1st, 2009
The rainfall we experienced here in the Lakes during August slowed up our progress in removing trees and shrubs from the higher parts of our garden, and encouraged just too many weeds to grow in the borders!
The weather did not put off our visitors, though, and all reported having a good time despite sometimes having to “take refuge” in a coffee bar, shop or museum! The Cumberland Pencil Museum has been a popular attraction this year not just because it is indoors, but also because it is surprisingly interesting.
