13th January, 2019.....Stormy Sunday!

Christmas is but a distant memory (thank goodness!) and after a busy week at work we decided to brave the windy, showery weather and head to Furness Abbey.....

...and we got soaked!!

But it was looking lovely and atmospheric, as always....

….and it was warm and cosy inside Abbey Mill Café, with the wood burner blasting out!

We loved this little sign outside, in light of that very silly story about a Coniston café banning 'screaming children'...…..schools will be banning children next!!!!!!!

It doesn't mentioned 'well-behaved nanas' though!!

This was one from Christmas, when she was definitely being 'well-behaved' and posh!

Here's me and the boy looking quite posh too......FAMILY...

…...important for us all at the moment!

P.S. Don't forget to pop down and see Steve Hillman next week at this event!

2nd January, 2019...Happy New Year and a hard frost!

After the final 'family gathering' of the season, we couldn't resist getting up early and heading out to Furness Abbey in the minus two degrees early morning air temperature...…

...it was looking absolutely lovely this morning! We heard this little guy crying out in a tree...aren't they supposed to be hibernating....it was hardly moving?

So, we finally get 'Christmassy' weather, just as everyone is heading back to work!!

Happy New Year everybody!
