Cumbria Farmstay

For our first day we had a good sleep in before driving over to catch up with Raelene and Geoff. They are staying at Geoff's brother Mikes place about 6 miles from us. They took us for a walk to the little church where they were married passing wildflowers, fields, cows, sheep, bumble bees and some very fruity aromas as we went. It was delightful and just fantastic to see St Thomas's. The area and little hamlet where they are is quite idyllic though freezing in the winter I'm told. In the afternoon we went shopping in Kirkby Lonsdale to get some food in. Again a very pretty village with a market square and a lovely river coursing through under perfect stone bridges. After a rest we travelled back to Mike's place for dinner with a few of their friends. We were spoiled with a beautiful meal and interesting conversations. A good night was had by all. The drive home along the lanes in the dark was fun!Read more
