A football team working out greeted us....far too intense for me...I'd rather walk (or swim)!
Beautiful view of Abbey Mill from the top of the amphitheatre....we didn't have luncheon today (been reading Wind in the Willows again!) as we knew we were heading out for another family meal in Ulverston this evening. Farmers Arms doesn't have fantastic connotations for me, but actually it was very nice, but VERY busy!
My niece has outgrown us all!
About 75% of 'The Clan' in this photo! Big decisions to made this week about whether one of them escapes to work in Boston for a few years.....not an easy decision!
So...to bed late after drinks at the Hillman residence...to wake up to this.......
We got out as early as we could but by lunchtime the light drizzle had melted everything, and only the pathways at Furness Abbey remained covered. No photo opportunities today!
Poor old monks...they must have been freezing...an no fires allowed except in the Abbot's house and in the infirmary!
Apparently, it is Blue Monday tomorrow...the most depressing day of the year, and we have been asked if our school can provide a taste of the antithesis to this...."YES!" I answered, so look out for us on the #nwembehappy site at some point this week......
....why would you not be happy, living in a place like this!
