.....so by Friday morning we were ready for a walk to Furness Abbey.....
...it was a lovely, peaceful way to start the holidays.....
...looking green and tranquil down here...
...ha ha...coming up to our 33rd anniversary of meeting this week!!! I guess you can tell that I turned out to be rather a good cook!!And,of course, Rosie is 31 today...we had an early brunch at The Custom House by way of celebration....
......that's me with Rosie 31 years ago!!!
We didn't have a lot back then, and I was a student (can you tell!!)...but we all inherited the Exley Eyebrows!!!
That's Rosie with my nan and granddad....they've been gone a long time now, but never forgotten....we often liken Frankie's temperament to my nan's!!!
When that huge golden thing appeared in the sky this morning, we did a bit of sunrise chasing, and finally caught up with it, lighting up Holbeck.....When I left school at half past eleven it was pouring again....what happened!!!
By mid day we were having a wet and windy catch up with Santa!!!
It is hard to believe that we are at the winter solstice...it feels positively spring like down at Furness Abbey, and I haven't had to cut my garden back at all...the Margaritas are still in full flower! Still got a few Abbey House and Last Resort catch ups with family and friends, before we are off to LANGDALE CHASE for Christmas lunch!!!!! I've even bought a dress!
Best wishes to you all...Santa will be on his way very soon!
