I was planning to take advantage of the Sunshine this morning and give the lawn the first mow of the season. Mr Harper, our neighbouring farmer doesn't like to see good grass going to waste and when I was greeted by the sight of several ewes and lambs feasting on poor lawn - it was perfect timing!

Today I took a trip down memory lane and had a day out at Muncaster Castle by Ravenglass (near Eskdale). Boldly passing all the people having ice-creams and cake at the caf'(c) I knocked on the private entrance door at the castle of Iona and Peter Pennington who run Muncaster, and whose family have lived there for over 800 years. Bruno (my 4 year old) was very excited because he thought we were going to meet the Queen. Related Article Tags: , , ,

This is a fabulous walk, not least because it takes in a good pub halfway round! We park near St Bega's church which is a lovely little church, built on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake over 900 years ago. To get to St Bega's, follow the A591 from Keswick (where you will find several Keswick cottages) towards Bassenthwaite. Carry on for about 4 miles and then turn left down a small single tracked road (signed Bassenthwaite Lake and Scarness). The parking for St Bega's is just down here and then you will need to walk across a couple of fields and an avenue of ancient oaks to get to the church itself. Related Article Tags: , , ,
The activities below have been chosen with children in mind. However, I have had a fabulous time just with my mates doing these things, and we ought to know better as we're all in our 30s! Stepping into a fairy circle - a village walk in Rosthwaite. Wainwright said that "A fellwalker based in Rosthwaite is like a king with many thrones". Rosthwaite is the starting point for many wonderful short (and long) walks; north to Grange, east to Watendlath or just along the river to the pretty villages of Stonethwaite or Seatoller.

I've just received details of the Summer Season at the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick and it looks like they have some real crackers lined up. The Theatre by the Lake is in quite a spectacular setting and as the name suggests is literally a stones throw from Derwent Water. There is an abundance of restaurants and bars in Keswick itself which are ideal for a pre-show tipple or meal. You could even walk that meal off with a gentle stroll around the lake before one of these fantastic shows actually starts. What better way to spend an evening out in Keswick.

Here's a brilliant thing to do in the Lake District if you have small children and don't want to put too much effort in. Take them to Castlerigg Stone Circle in Keswick and forget about the history of it, forget the mystery within it, forget even the beauty surrounding it (although it is worth taking a moment to enjoy that 'wow' factor), just spend a happy hour there playing hide and seek. We went there yesterday, just me and the three littlies aged 4, 2 and 1. Related Article Tags: , , ,

Many people struggle to break bad habits from their past and to create new, healthy habits for their future. It is much easier to continue living in the ways that are normal for us than to battle our way to a better life. If, for example, we are used to watching endless hours of television each night it will certainly be hard for us to win the battle of breaking that habit. It will be even harder to replace television with constructive and healthy ways of spending time such as exercising or reading. Related Article Tags: , , ,
Bipolar disorder is also known as manic depression. Bipolar disorder is a psychological disorder that effects a person's mood. The mood swings are very extreme with a manic (high elation) phase and a very deep depressive phase. There is estimated to effect approximately 1 per cent of the adult population.
