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!

Hi there Steph. Wow I would also have romantic notions about castles from our movie experiences ... such as Pride and Prejudice and Ever After. Pemberley Castle is definitely on my MUST SEE LIST or BUCKET LIST!!! Glad the days are starting to resemble Spring in the air. Lots of love and hugs as we now pack for SOUTH WEST ROCKS and will miss you all so much this year xox PS so missed you at your place on Good Friday. It was a great day together though :-) xox Karen Rob and family
