I absolutely love this picture by David Spink Photography. There couldn't be a better illustration of how peacefully the Barn sits in its surroundings.

Thanks to Phil, for sending these pictures from his stay at the Barn last week.
After a long walk, there's nothing more relaxing than a sit by the fire.

So the sun's shining, and you open your front door to this view. Then make a cup of tea, sit in the garden and watch the world go by.
It's the simple things.

We just love this photo sent to us this week. Taken a few weeks ago it shows the Barn with Eagle Crag behind and the makings of a beautiful sunset.

We've had a busy time spring cleaning the Barn. Have a look at the results of our efforts. Also check out the latest addition to the Tilly's Barn stable - our new rocking horse! (Apologies for the pun)

If you missed Julia Bradbury walking Castle Crag, you can catch up on here: http://www.itv.com/hub/best-walks-with-a-view-with-julia-bradbury/2a3365a0004
Julia sets off from Rosthwaite, which is just a hop, skip and a jump from the Barn.
Here are some of our memories of the walk....

Even in winter, this is quite some view from your front door.
And it's not too shabby in the summer either ;)

After a cold walk, there's nothing like coming back to an open fire.

It may be more than a little nippy outside, but imagine a roaring fire and maybe a cheeky drink after a walk in the snow.

Happy New Year from Tilly's Barn!
You'll be pleased to know that the Barn is still there, despite all of the awful weather we've endured over the last weeks. The sitting room has been ankle deep in water a fair few times, but it's all cleared away and we're ready for the new year. The main problem for us was that one of the streams that runs down the fellside behind the barn had become blocked, and so the water had changed its course to run down the track, and was then diverting through the sitting room! Now we love a water feature as much as the next person, but a stream through the Barn seemed a bit like showing off.
So we worked off some of those mince pies by moving some boulders and the stream (and the barn) are back to normal.
Here's the track in drier times.
