28th April, 2013...Weddings and Furness Abbey!

End of April, and still absolutely FREEZING! We haven't managed to get down to Furness Abbey this weekend because Steve Hillman has had weddings on both days. The couples both wanted to have some photographs taken in the Abbey grounds. One bride managed it, but was far too cold for any sensible bride to walk down from Abbey House on Sunday, so she had most of her photographs taken in Abbey House's beautiful grounds!

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to both couples... (and well done to SHphotography for securing five more bookings in the last five days!!)

 

We have had a weird thing happening in our garden. Even though it feels very cold still, the temperatures have gone up enough to give all the dormant winter/spring bedding like pansies and primroses a massive boost and they have produced huge flower heads. I've never seen pansy faces as big! And the magnolia has gone mad!

 

 

 

 

 

And some archive photos of Furness Abbey to finish. Hopefully, as it's Bank Holiday next weekend, we can at least get down here for a walk, though there is no chance of putting away the parkas yet!
