last night, tuesday, beeb2 did the coast down to Gretna including the devils porridge factory which technically was in scotland but I'm sure has featured in our pages. (Could some technically competent person insert a lead?) The sociological features probably included a lot of cumbrian ancestors so worth a watch on iwatch or whatever old program watching is called on the beeb! BUT next weeks program, 7ish on beeb2 tuesday, will probably come round the corner to us so this is an early warning especially for our non residents to see what we look like and maybe some activities. Last night they had the platty treading which we enjoy over here and hopefully some hound trailing which we've done for generations before Bliar and co stopped hunting proper. Biological note - lakeland foxes are the biggest in the country.

ps platty treading involves walking at low tide carefully in the water and stepping on small flat fish to trap them. Walk too fast and they feel you coming and swim off, tread to lightly, they escape! Environmental fishing!!
