Lake District. I love chasing blizzards and warming by log fires

Toby Carvery admits felling ancient Whitewebbs oak tree The owner of the pub chain falsely claimed the tree was dead as justification for the felling which has shocked local people and prompted outrage from conservationists across the country

A 450-yo oak is felled without permission by a Toby Carvery (don’t eat there), who falsely claimed it was "dead".
A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces.
Legal protection for heritage trees needed.

Daughter No1 has opened a pop-up bakery/cake stall on the roadside in Matterdale today (for one day only)

If you’re local do support her - she’s a whizz

Out and about in the northern lakes today. Sunny intervals, breezy but warm enough with a micro fleece. Glorious. Weather on the change now much cooler and some rain but still some sunshine.

Next Saturday is still forecast to be sunny intervals with over 8 hours of sunshine and a max of 18c. Currently we are getting over 12 hours of sunshine and maxes of 15c wonderful

My weather station forecasting the good weather to last until at least next Thursday. Just hope this isn’t our summer.

Beautiful. There have been some lovely sunsets over the past few nights and hopefully at least another week. Extraordinary weather

Due to severe staff shortages in the bars and pubs of the Lake District many are trialling honesty bars today

Absolutely gutted to learn that David Heavy Whalley has passed. A true hero who wanted nothing more than to help people. Mountain rescue owes him a debt of gratitude, as does the country, for his service at Lockerbie. Rest in peace Heavy. Xxx
