LOVE: Weddings

A few weekends ago involved the first wedding at Rydal since I had arrived. Love was definately in the air and the Bulley Barn was incredibly beautiful and was a chance for me to float around and check everything out. Melissa and I had fun sneaking through the back door to look over the reception! It was great!











LOVE: Castles?

Something that was definately meant to be romantic was also something that turned out to be completely the opposite. I was very excited about making the journey to Lancaster (about a 2 hour bus trip from here) and especially excited about seeing the castle.



I had even budgeted paying for a tour, I was THAT excited. So I hopped on the bus and made my way down to Lancaster. First stop was Lancaster Castle.

AND...it just so happened that Lancaster Castle was a prison. Yep, a prison. And on the tour the guide mainly talked about deaths associated with the castle. Not really what I had in mind!

Hmmm mental note: CHECK before paying for a tour of a castle!!

LOVE: Keswick and small English towns

Got to go on an adventure to Keswick last week. It was such a lovely little country town. Despite the fact that I got off at the wrong stop and had no idea where I was, I loved walking through the city centre and just meeting people and experiencing the small town life there for a day.



LOVE: Community

The community here is so amazing and I love them all to bits! I am truly blessed to have such amazing people to work and live with.



I'll keep you posted!

Live it.Love it.

I've come to enjoy the sunshine in the last few days.

Shock. Horror. Yes, I know.

However, it has been rather nice and today I got to soak it up a fair bit. Yay!

For the Tea Shop it usually means lots of people coming through the doors - but it keeps to day busy and it goes really fast.

The Coffin Route is a really nice walk down to Grasmere (and also a really nice place to walk to catch the sun). Grasmere is the most gorgeous little town. On one of my days off last week I walked down to Grasmere to buy 'Original Gingerbread'. yum yum yum!

The walk was quite beauitful as it had snowed that morning. The Lake had also iced over and a lot of it was frozen. In a way it was eerie. It was fun to toss a rock onto the frozen parts of the Lake and watch it bounce across the ice.



After discovering a gorgeous little tea shop I decided that I was in love with Grasmere.



So I am back to work tomorrow. It shall be good, I've decided. Hooray!
