Do you know what? The Lake District weather forecast isn't too bad for the coming weekend.Friday is forecast to be dry and sunny, and Saturday just has a little rain in the afternoon ( according the the BBC website). The autumn colours are lovely.

It will be the last weekend that we are open in 2013, and we do still have rooms available. Rooms 1 and 5 are available for two nights, at the rate of £169. This is for two guests, for two nights, and includes our homemade Lakeland tea bread with a pot of tea by the log fire in the Wordsworth lounge on the Friday afternoon, and our award winning breakfasts both mornings.

We also have room 3 for one night only on Saturday, 2 November, at £89, tea on arrival and breakfast included.

Here a picture of the tea bread, and here is the White Moss Lakeland Tea Bread recipe if you would like to make it yourself.

The days are getting longer.

It's noticable now that the days are getting longer. Today it was light before 8pm, and it doesn't get dark until well after 5pm.

We've had a very heavy snowfall in the last week, but all the snow has gone, and the daffodils are well on their way. They must be very confused with the huge variations we've been having between very mild weather and very cold weather. Here's a photo I took through the window of Room 3 on Saturday morning.

Afternoon tea on arrival with home made Lakeland tea bread

When guests arrive at White Moss House, we offer them tea and home made cakes with our compliments- no charge! Over Easter, guests have loved sitting by the log fire in the Wordsworth lounge, relaxing after their journey to the Lakes, planning what to do during their stay .

Our home made Lakeland tea bread is very popular. There are lots of recipes for this traditional Lake District recipe, and I'm not claiming that our version is better than any other, but let's just mention that whenever I make it for a Grasmere WI tea it gets praise and compliments!

We've had a very busy Easter weekend, but it now goes quiet for a little while, with the week after the schools go back, 15 to 21 April, looking like a really good time to visit if you want to avoid the crowds.We have some great bed and breakfast special offers between now and 21 April. If you visit and bookmark this page you'll get the daily updated last minute rates from White Moss House.

I sometime wonder if anyone reads my blog, so I was delighted that one of our local Red Squirrel Proctection Team ( I don't know if that's their official name, but it sounds good) told me that he'd read on my blog about how we see red squirrels every day here at White Moss House. He confirms that the squirrel cam that we have in the White Moss garden is showing a lot of red squirrel activity. You might get the chance to see one of these pretty little creatures if you visit us.
