- [The Year So Far](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/the-year-so-far/) - I read a comment on whether anyone reads blogs and journals. I hope someone does! Although nowadays it is becoming impossible to know if it’s been written by humans or a robot: the suggestion is that humans are becoming redundant. Our son says the bots are so clever now they can write like you, even
- [2022 in review: A year of change](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/2022-a-year-of-change-for-the-estate/) - As the end of 2022 draws to a close, we wanted to reflect on what a year it’s been for the Estate.

- [Tom Felling Trees!](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/tom-felling-trees/) - We have been spoilt for weather these past few weeks. The sky has been filled with blue and sunshine. It can’t last of course, but we can bask in it whilst it’s here. This time of year and when it’s dry, is a good time to deal with any trees that are (sadly) dying off.
- [Woodland Management](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/woodland-management/) - If you are staying at Highgate Farm or Highgate Cabins you are next to Brow Wood. This is one of the ancient woods on the Estate. The wood has been recently thinned. This is to allow the more mature trees to grow and fill out. Or as my mum used to say, “to grow good”.
- [Spring Clean](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/spring-clean/) - Opening Up We are looking forward to 12 April and opening up again. It’s a trite remark that we hope nothing happens to put off this long awaited release from lockdown. Plus we have to remember there are lots of businesses that cannot re-open until later in the year. We have taken the opportunity to
- [Ready To Get Back To Normal](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/ready-to-go/) - The repairs are all finished now, scaffolding just about to be removed. Old houses are lovely but they never seem to be finished, there’s always a little something else that needs fixing. However Home Farm was built in the nineteenth century and its still standing so I’m sure it will be there long after I’m
- [Spring or Winter?](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/spring-or-winter/) - What a beautiful month April was. With the changing weather patterns I think April is often one of the best times of year to visit the Lakes. A dry and sunny start to Spring. People were a little giddy I though venturing out in shorts and stripping off to bare chests, but I was willing
- [Gardening](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/gardening/) - Always something to be done. You’ve never finished in the garden. We try to have a balance between some more formal areas and then some places where we let nature have more of a free hand. The lilac is at the edge of a bit of more unruly “garden”. Not really garden as we let
- [Hot Dogs](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/hot-dogs/) - Summer is gone It has been a good summer, for the visitors at least plenty of sunshine and dry weather, with little rain. Dacre beck was very low for a time and the grass was looking a little parched. But it’s time for a proper deluge and no doubt that will come in the Autumn.
- [Highgate Pods](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/highgate-pods/) - Opening Next Year! We finally got planning permission for some cabins at Highgate. It wasn’t easy, but I don’t thing planning ever is. We are very excited to see it all being built, although the site looks a bit untidy at the moment. Next year there will be four cabins, two with outside baths and
- [Plans Are Afoot](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/plans-are-afoot/) - Plans never go according to plan. If we’d got planning permission in good time the cabins would already be up and running. However things are now in place so that we can start on the groundworks soon, Here is the site plan: You should never count your chickens, but hopefully they will be ready May/June
- [Finally…](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/finally/) - Groundworks have Begun! Planning never goes smoothly, you always feel you are banging your head against a brick wall and you will never get there. But as with so many things you just have to keep calm and keep going. So now, after 3 years Highgate Cabins is within sight. The team at Metcalf’s have
- [New Year](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/new-year/) - Looking Forward It’s been quite a year. 2020 will be remembered as a year like no other and unfortunately 2921 has not started any better. But there is definitely much to be positive about as the vaccine programmer rolls out and we should start coming out of lockdown in the not too distant. This Winter
- [Seasonal Cycle](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/seasonal-cycle/) - Mother Nature never fails to impress me. This last week I have been reminded of summer with some beautiful roses at Lacet Cottage. Then of course a storm arrived on Saturday and it rained and rained and then it rained some more. Chris has spent the last threeweeks or so fixing drains on the
- [A Summer Of Sorts](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/a-summer-of-sorts/) - Better Times Ahead In March I reflected on the start of Spring, finally... I seem to be obsessed with the weather, but there has been good reason for that over the past six months or so. I have been trying to remember what the sun looks like and how lovely it is to have the
- [Mercurial Weather](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/mercurial-weather/) - Someone said this to me yesterday and I thought it was the most apt way to describe the last month of weather- mercurial. Mother Nature has thrown everything at us. Hail and sleet followed by snow and sunshine and more rain than I have ever seen. There is no point looking at the weather forecast
- [Who Says Romance Is Dead?](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/who-says-romance-is-dead/) - A Moonlit Walk Well doesn’t that sounds lovely. Getting out in to the wonderful outdoors with the company of a loved one and the moon to guide your way. Romance still survives, except of course in real life the moon lit walk is at 7.30am and my loved one is my faithful hound Shadow. The
- [Sunrise](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/sunrise/)
- [Autumn](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/autumn/) - Leaves and Time Autmn has arrived again, The leaves are fading from green to every shade of rust, copper and gold. And now as the frosts begin to descend in the mornings the leaves are all forced from the trees and there is a melee of crispy, crunchiness underfoot. It’s a wonderful sound. Time has
- [It’s Raining Again](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/its-raining-again/) - Autumnal Thoughts After a wonderful spring and Easter, certainly weather wise, you might have been forgiven for thinking a wonderfully warm summer was on the way. Alas it was not to be. In vivid contrast to last year’s drought we have had a very wet August. someone asked me was I surprised truly I have
- [Henry the Hedgehog](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/henry-the-hedgehog/) - Garden Wildlife I am always amazed how much wildlife I can almost literally fall over, just outside my front door. We have a lovely hedgehog which is often found in the garden. I always think of hedgehogs as being small, but in the flesh they are quite large. They are under threat in towns as
- [Blue and Black](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/blue-and-black/) - Wish You Were Here. The Spring weather has been a meteorological smorgasbord. Easter was so hot and gloriously sunny. I always fear that when we get such an unexpected burst of Summer so early in the year, that that will be the zenith of our year and what will follow is just greyness and rain.
- [Where’s The Pretty Picture?](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/rubbish-collection/) - Keep The Lakes Tidy You might ask why I have included the picture below of a black bin liner full of rubbish. We went on litter picking duty again at the weekend. We collected this lot over a half mile stretch of country road near to where we live. It didn’t take long but it
- [Seasonal Changes](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/seasonal-changes/) - Spring Time is Here Again A friend of mine thinks she is going through the menopause. This has somewhat taken me unawares. I wasn’t thinking about changes such as these. Well not at our age. Having said that I have just turned 44 so I suppose it is to be expected. But it started me
- [The Devil on My Shoulder](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/the-devil-on-my-shoulder/) - Here We Go Again... I have thought for some short while whether to write the following. I am generally very private and my journal is about more cheerful things. I may not publish these words and yet they will have been written. Cathartic for me if nothing else. Some times, some things need to be
- [Melancholic Musings](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/melancholic-musings-2/) - Everything Will Be Ok (if you are in the Lakes) It is that time of year when you can feel a little melancholy creeping in to your mind: the weather is grey, the rain is falling, tax returns are due and you can’t escape hearing about another analysis of what might happen in Brett scenario
- [Night Creatures](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/night-creatures/) - Winter Time in the Lakes As we get closer to the Winter solstice the nights are still getting longer and it makes me think of Summer with a real sense of longing. Some times I end up taking the dog out when it is dark. Thankfully I haven’t tripped over and broken anything yet. The
- [The Last Rose](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/the-last-rose/) - A Final Flourish in the Lakes Coming round the corner of the house I came across this beautiful solitary white rose. At that moment it was still a bud and then inevitably, a few days later, it bloomed as you see it here. I say inevitably, but in November I think to find a perfect
- [Windy Miller](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/windy-miller/) - Still Bright and Breezy in the Lakes I might be showing my age now but I can’t remember whether it’s “Trumpton” or the other one. They don’t make animation quite like that any more and I should think if I saw it again I would think it is of its time. However in our house
- [Autumn Winds and Stormy Weather](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/autumn-winds-and-stormy-weather/) - We are having problems with the website this month so I have not been able to write my blog and even now I can’t upload pictures.

- [Deja vu, Well No Not really.](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/deja-vu-well-no-not-really/) - Never the same view twice in the Lakes. I often walk in the same places, some times day after day. Shadow never seems to care so long as she is able to charge around and play fetch the ball. She is only 15 months old but she has really got the hang of it now
- [Where are the Rain Gods when you need them?](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/where-are-the-rain-gods-when-you-need-them/) - Sun, sun, go away? But do come back another day. (The day after tomorrow would be perfect). The British are obsessed with the weather, bu we have good reason. If you live in Dubai, the weather would not be a fruitful topic of conversation. Since coming home 8 years ago my deep seated interest for
- [Weather you like it or Weather you don’t.](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/weather-you-like-it-or-weather-you-dont/) - Heatwave in the Lake District. Well what to do? It’s sunny again.

- [Gone Fishing in The Lake Fishtrict](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/gone-fishing-in-the-lake-fishtrict/) - Fishing for fish on the River Eden? Not likely, just for fun. What do you think of, when you think of the Lake District? - fells, walking, lush greenery, lakes, becks, ghylls, rivers, water, sailing, rain of course. However for some, fishing is the thing: for it is not a sport, a hobby, a
- [Sunny May](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/sunny-may/) - Summer has Come Early In the Lake District We were lucky enough to visit Porto this month and what a beautiful place it is. In fact in many ways it reminded me of home - very hilly and it rained- a lot! The weather was better here in the Lake District than the north of
- [Highgate House](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/highgate-farm-is-now-live/) - HuttonJohn Estate’s Third Holiday Let in the Lake District Highgate is now finished and live on the Lakelover’s website.

- [Wildlife In The Garden](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/wildlife-in-the-garden/) - Lake District Wildlife It always amazes me how close you can get to wildlife. These two beautiful ducks must be looking for somewhere to build a nest ready for thei ducklings. Since I took this picture they have been back many times for a little bit of breakfast. I hope in return they will bring
- [Merry Marmalade Making.](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/merry-marmalade-making/) - Winners at the Dalemain Marmalade Festival? Well if you are asking, no, far from it, as we didn’t even manage to submit an entry. Some confusion over the date for submission, but we were undeterred and laid plans for making some mellifluous golden marmalade. Of course because we were too late for entering the competition
- [Bad Weather can be Great Weather](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/bad-weather-can-be-great-weather/) - Snow, Glorious Snow, in the Lakes. Another few days of proper weather and although the forecasters warned us last week that the Siberian freeze was on its way, somehow it has come as a little surprise.

- [Another 5 star rating](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/another-5-star-rating/) - Another 5 star rating for our luxury holiday let in the Lake District We were so pleased to find out that Home Farm had received a 5 star rating, so we were a little nervous as to whether Lacet Cottage would do it too. You try your best to make sure that your holiday cottage
- [Hutton John Estates Instagram](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/hutton-john-estates-instagram/) - Insta obsession: well not yet. I have been writing this blog for seven months and I thought perhaps it was time to spread my wings and really move in to the 21st century. Now I am not technologically minded. I have only had a smart phone for the last year and you wouldn’t call me
- [Obsessed with the Weather- Not Me!](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/obsessed-with-the-weather-not-me/) - Changing skies in the Lakes District It is such an English trait to comment on the weather.

- [First Snow!](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/first-snow/) - Snow time in the Fells! Last week saw the first flurry of snow of the year.

- [Martindale](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/martindale/) - The best side of Ullswater I am definitely biased, I thought I would say that right at the beginning. I believe that Ullswater is the most beautiful of all the lakes and I feel very glad that I live close by. What is it about water? Is it a calming influence? Does it make you
- [Autumn Leaves me Smiling](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/autumn-leaves-me-smiling/) - Glorious autumn colours in the Lakes I don't have a favourite time of year. I enjoy living in a country where we have distinct seasons so I couldn't live anywhere where it was just hot, hot, hot.

In July 2017 and after several attempts, the Lake District gained UNESCO World Heritage status.

- [Beautiful Butterflies and Busy bees.](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/beautiful-butterflies-and-busy-bees/) - Its's not all about the sheep in the Lakes. Shadow is getting older and better behaved, but just not all the time. However she has perfected that hang-dog Labrador expression that melds seemlessly together with the "it wasn't me, but if it was I am so cute, just forgive me now". I am coming to

- [New Business, New Dog, Bad Idea?](https://huttonjohnestate.co.uk/journal/new-business-new-dog-bad-idea/) - Lake District Holiday Lets and Shadow Isn't she cute? Well yes, but she knows it. She is also clever enough to know when she has done something she shouldn't like, eating my shoes or eating sheep poo whilst out on a walk. As yet, though she knows she shouldn't do it, she can't refrain from
