Life at Rydal

- Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens; snowflakes that fall on my nose and eyelashes; these are a few of of my favourite things

Life here has started to slow down to a manageable pace. Love working in Tea Shop and in Reception so praying that I’m mainly in those areas! Tea Shop is so much fun and after conquering the loud and scary milk froth-er it is definitely a favourite. My days vary and usually I’m working 9.30am – 5.30pm. It is awesome to be trained in so many areas!

Annnnnndddd….the sheep are definitely getting better. I have more courage to walk past them. Win!


- Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

On Wednesday it snowed and by golly gosh it was beautiful. It was my day off and two of us decided to walk up to see the waterfalls of which the water runs straight through Rydal. We reached a peak and sat on a rock to enjoy the surroundings. It then started to snow just lightly. Snow is so delicate and perfect. About an hour later it was snowing a lot more and this perfect whiteness covered Rydal. I was jumping up and down with excitement because I had never experienced the snow actually falling from the sky.


- The snow from my window

Had a day off today, which was so nice. After 6 days of working 8 hour shifts I was a little tired and ready for a day of relaxing. Went to Windermere, which was really nice and also had a little explore around the area of Rydal. Still can’t get over the amazing creation here. It's like being in a different world and although it is very different it is such a job to be in a place that I know I am meant to be!

Community is great!! Had a soccer (or as everyone else here refers to it, football) game last night. That was fun (I especially had fun watching my team kick the ball while I stood back).

Some of my new friends here laughed when I told them that I had a blog. They said after a few weeks I wouldn't have much to write. Oh well, I'll try to write when I can!
