25th/26th August, 2013...A scorching August Bank Holiday weekend!!

Frankie's birthday dawned warm and calm, with the sun beaming through his bedroom window. We went to the Abbey at lunchtime, and it was VERY BUSY which is excellent...no need to sit in bank holiday traffic jams when we live in Furness!

 

Frankie very happy to go into Abbey Mile Café for his usual lemonade, and come out with a birthday gift!! Many thanks to Jackie and staff... you made his day!

 

Lovely place for a power walk!

 

Tried to pick some of these for my classroom Autumn display, but they bit back!!

Thought we'd head over to Roa Island today, and do a bit of yacht watching..it was also very busy, but very pleasant in the warm sea breeze!

 

 

 

Again, why would you battle the traffic when you have all this on your doorstep! Frank's sister lived here for a while and she loved it. Frank has decided he'd quite like a second home here... as long as they've got high speed broad band obviously!!

 

 

We met Mr. Greenheartden down here..he was on a cycle tour of Barrow. The Green Heart Den, Marsh Street...that really is a place worth looking at, and right in the heart of Barrow too. Check it out!
