Current Weather at Strickley

Visitors from far and near

Some days the only people we see are from as far away as Wellbank (or maybe over the hill at Over Bleaze - but does that mean they're "over the hill"?) - but today visitors have come a bit farther.

This morning a young German studying Countryside Conservation at Aberystwyth Univeristy, came to see us as part of an assignment on Organic Dairy Shorthorns.

And this afternoon, out of the blue, we had a visit from an American (Bridget Machell of West Point, Georgia) who was researching her family history. Her (8x?) grandfather lived at Strickley from at least 1717 to 1720. She took a photograph of the house and I'm going to look out as much house history as I can to send to her, and she is going to send copies of her documents relating to Strickley - so watch this space for news.

And we also had a visit from Leon (from Kendal).
