Links & Likes this month is from our little hideaway for the week, a cottage in the Western Lake District. You are probably wondering why am I wasting a perfectly good morning blogging?? The truth is our car has decided to pack in, and we are stuck waiting for a recovery vehicle! I will add a few pictures from my immediate vicinity. Its not a bad place to have car trouble, if only we could go out and explore…..

I was so sad to hear that Bekki’s beautiful dog Hicks passed away recently. Bekki who blogs at Dartmoor Yarns wrote a lovely tribute post to him , which brought tears to my eyes, but made me smile too. Will certainly miss hearing all about Mr Hicks , especially his muddy puddle antics. He was a Top dog. Xx
Jo’s Monday Walk to Coverham Abbey is a feast for the eyes. Stone statues, colourful dahlias, a unique Knot Garden. A lovely place to take a wander. 🙂
I always love reading about Tommy’s life on Fair Isle and seeing all his fantastic wildlife pictures.

Aw no that sucks bout breaking down but I’m impressed you’ve used it to blog! Thanks so much for including me in your links for September, I feel very honored. Going to be hopping on over to that apple blog (tasty!). Can’t bring myself to read the doggie one…:,(
Your welcome. I have had nothing else to do today but hang out at the cottage, until a tow truck finally turned up. No idea when we will get the car back, but have a good walk planned tommorrow. X
Well you got a walk out of it so not it all lost !!! I’ll keeping my fingers crossed for you. 🙂
Woo Hoo! Thanks for the link, and I hope you’re mobile again now. Spied a couple of links I’d like to investigate too, so thanks for that! 🙂 🙂
Thats ok, it was a lovely post Jo. Glad you have enjoyed the links.Xx
Car fixed? 🙂
Its at a garage and we are carless for now. Fingers crossed we can have it back tommorrow. X
Oh no, hope you get your car back tomorrow! What a time to break down, how very disloyal of it.
I know! Just typical. Its still in the garage, but managed a nice walk out to Wast Water today.x
What a lovely view to write your blog, I could think of worse places. 🙂 Hope you got to go on your walk. Love the gentleman’s wardrobe. I’d prefer one like that to the hanger ones we tend to have nowadays!
I want to take the wardrobe home with me! It’s fab. We had a great walk to Wast Water today. Fantastic weather. Hopefully car back tommorrow. X
Ah you’re so lovely. I read blogs all the time and I’m terrible at commenting! thank you 😆
Your welcome Polly. X
Thanks for the link and the mention. I’m sure Mr Hicks is wagging his tail about it to somewhere 🙂 Shame about the car trouble, hope it’s all fixed by now and not too expensive xx
All sorted now. Off for a yomp up a mountain tommorrow.x
Excellent! 🙂 xx
