24th February, 2018....Fabulous but FREEZING February!!

That blast from the East has really hit us this weekend....and is forecast to get worse before Spring finally arrives! Thought we'd better head down to Furness Abbey while the sun was shining today....just in case we don't see it again until next month!

Some lambs in the fields down here already......

...and a few spring flowers being brave! We are always brave enough for a spot of morning tea at Abbey Mill Café!

Most of February has been more than a little chilly, and our London friend even had to dig out her Barrow hat for the weather!

Pretty chilly at St. Peter's Church earlier in the month too!

We've met some inspiring people since the last blog...this was Stuart Robinson, from GB's wheelchair rugby team...with a very simple message for kids and adults alike....stop moaning and get up and do!! He had to, after the life changing injuries he sustained, and his example is now motivating many others to do the same. Stuart was exactly right though...what you think, you become!

We also met up with Frances Horridge from Wake Up To Drama Academy, earlier this week. She's become a friend to us over the years, and we always enjoy her take on Shakespeare!

Keeping with the 'winter' theme, we had the chance to go skiing and tubing at Kendal Snow Sports club, earlier in the week.....

My colleagues love danger more than the kids!!

...and up to Kendal Castle...always got time for a bit of local history! Lovely views from up there too!

                                These are the skies we are waking up to at the moment.....

Brrr!!!!!!!
