4th February,2018.... Disappearing January!!

Where did that month go??? What with OFSTED, family visits, 80th birthdays, wedding fairs and falling down the stairs (ha ha!!) there haven't been enough January days to squeeze in even the smallest visit to Furness Abbey....but we made it today....TWICE!!

           That wasn't today though!!!! However, it was looking beautiful at 8am this morning.......

...couldn't resist a quick trip down with the camera!

Looking beautiful from our Rakesmoor vantage point this morning too!

The sight of a slice of blue sky this afternoon tempted us down for a walk again.....

...and we wheeled nan out for her daily constitutional!!

Had a catch up with Abbey Mill's Jackie.....

...it seems some 'upgrades' are in store for the good old Abbey!

We had a lovely visit with the Northants clan earlier in the month......

Got the chance to try out The Swan.......great atmosphere, and lovely food too!!

Then it was all systems go for the senior Mrs Hillman's 80th birthday celebrations.......

...with a fabulous cake made by Lucie Phelps from Lucie's Cakes Co. -well worth a look if you are wanting a celebration cake.

The original HILLMAN clan......

.... and all their children!!

Also managed to squeeze in a very successful OFSTED visit, training days, wedding fairs, school trips........

...need to get to February for a REST!!!
