2nd July, 2017....Finally, family at Furness Abbey!

First weekend for a month without full-on weddings and school work....and the chance for a lovely catch up with the Northants and Lancs parts of the family, along with the Barrow contingent and a buffet chez Hillman....

(bit of a height differential with the Hillman Children!!)

...we even managed to escape to Furness Abbey and have morning tea at Abbey Mill Café!

             Furness Abbey, we've missed you!!!! So tranquil and green in the morning light.........

                              ...and full of local people doing what they do best on a Sunday morning...!

We love the Barrow community, and I was interested to read what Phil Huck was saying about plans for the town over the next few years taking it on into 2030...hope we have our new Central Ward redesign by then!!! We were so proud to be part of the Great Community Get Together for the Jo Cox Foundation, last month....

......and we've really used the locality to support experiential education over the past few weeks.....

...and, of course, teachers love experiential learning and away days!!!

We did have a short walk to Furness Abbey during the 'mini heatwave' the other week...

...look at that blue sky......

Stunning, but so OVER now it's July!!!!
