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).
