After getting our holiday cottages spick and span we decided to go for a drive to have a look at a campsite at Sedbergh. We are planning another few days there with our Home Ed group in a few weeks. Unfortunately the weather has been awful, we ended up taking my poor little car through puddles galore, some more like rivers!! Still it kept running, just about! As we were out that way we decided to have a drive on to a little village called Dent, which is a really pretty village with small cobbled street in the middle of nowhere. We got there a bit late and didn't even manage to get an ice-cream so headed home.

Found out last night that foot and mouth has reared it's ugly head again. At the moment it's just in Surrey and I really hope it does'nt spread any further. We are surrounded by farms and fields full of cattle and sheep, even some in the field behind our garden (very close to the house). I think we both feel really upset as we remember watching the fires burn from last time and have a few friends who are farmers around here. We just have to pray it does'nt spread this time and feel for those farmers who may lose everything they work so hard for. We'll just have to watch and see.................
