Just when we were putting away the winter coats....icy winds from the East are back....cold in Barrow but at least we don't have the snowstorms that seem to be hitting the rest of the country. We braved the cold to venture down to Furness Abbey.....
..it's looking lovely but no signs of spring yet- no daffodils or buds and plenty of herdies in their winter coats!
Always time for a spot of morning tea with Jackie...
...just us today though!!
We visited Barrow library earlier in the week, for some excellent 'literature' workshops....first time I've been there for about fifteen years, and it was a shock to find out that some children in my class haven't EVER been there. I spent half my childhood in Walney library because we just couldn't afford books when I was growing up...new books were a luxury. I loved to read so I used to cycle up to the library on Central Drive from West Shore and take out my three books every few days...Ruth Manning-Saunders was my favourite author back then but I think I read most of the contents of the children's section back then. I can afford to buy books now which is great but we MUST support our libraries more- we can't let them close.
Both mother and mother-in-law have had their own struggles over the last fortnight, but both are doing very well- they don't moan or make dramas, they just get on with it...
Freezing but lovely wedding at The Daffodil on Thursday for the Steve Hillman Camera...
The couple were brave enough for a Lake Cruise too! Look out the SteveHillman camera at this event next week!
