Atmospheric yes, but we could all do with a bit of warmth at the moment! Mist or no mist, the intrepid Barrow public have had great fun down at Abbey Mill and the amphitheatre this weekend, rolling eggs and supporting Furness Abbey Fellowship in their fund raising efforts...
And we did meet our long-time pal and his clan down here, which was nice...he's family really, even in those dazzling trainers!!
And many thanks to Abbey Mill's Jackie for our little Easter treat!
Some cute calves in the meadow by Bow Bridge...haven't seen any lambs down here yet...
.......but lots of blossom and daffodils, so Spring is getting here SLOWLY!
Frank's been having a paddle, so it must be warming up!
Unfortunately, all the egg-rolling has resulted in a bit of a (biodegradable) mess on the sides of the amphitheatre, which the sea gulls are helping to clean up!! There has been some 'offense taking' about it, but I seem to remember that last year, after about a week, there was very little 'egg mess' remaining. Litter from the groups who use Furness Abbey at night time for illicit drinking, under age perhaps, causes much more of an eye-sore than a few smashed up hardboiled eggs...let's not forget that!
I'm reading a superb book at the moment, which features various Lake District and Cumbrian haunts as incidental backdrops to a conservation story about my favourite creatures! That over simplifies the plot but I don't want to give too much away!!
Wolves don't take offense so easily, it seems!
