Global Warming.....

Good Morning from far Sawrey....Its still raining!!! Had a look at the ferry webcam before, you can certainly see why its been shut all week, its about a foot higher than the lake! It would be like taking a leap of faith trying to get off it in a car!!!
Lots of stamps have arrived this morning, so I must have rung just in time last night! Its the last weekend for second class post this weekend I believe....
Something I did not mention about London in yesterdays blog is something that really shocked me.......ITS ALL LIT UP....and I mean EVERY BUILDING! EVERY OFFICE! EVERY COMPUTER! ALL ON!!!!!!!!!! How mad is that! We arrived in the middle of the night and had a drive around to get our bearings and it appeared everyone forgot to turn the lights off, though I found when speaking to people its like that all of the time!!! Here the rest of us are trying to do our bit for global warming and there is london lit up 24hours a day! Not good! Anyway here is my attempt to redress the balance, I found a link to a site that talks of what we can do to have a greener xmas http://www.survivingchristmas.org.uk/green.htm

Village news today is that a local Bed and Breakfast called Fair Rigg which has recently been extensively refurbished has been awarded a coveted silver award grading!!! Thats excellent news!!! Rob and Lorraine who are customers here should be very proud of all of their hard work and as newcomers to that business they have done exeptionally well!! We wish them every success, take a look at their website, their huge beds look DIVINE!!! www.fair-rigg.co.uk

I read in the Westmorland Gazette today that there will be carol singing in near and far sawrey next week, wednesday in near sawrey and saturday in far sawrey, both starting at 6pm, I will be there like a bear!!! :-)

Someone across the road from the shop has just lit their fire, I am sat here typing in smog! Better go shut the door!
