The church at Bardsea was well populated on Friday morning fro the funeral of an old friend, Margaret Moncreif Bowmer. She had lived fro many years in Bardsea and for the past 10 years or so at Wellhead in Ulverston. A lovely lady, always smiling and a pleasure to meet with her. A keen golfer, of course, and even Bowls. RIP Margaret.
Saturday saw heavy rain for much of the day. How lucky we were that the Dickensian was LAST weekend? I only was at work till noon, then did my weekend shopping adn spent the afternoon watching some good racing from Aintree and Sandown. I had a nice cosy "evening in" making a very nice Chicken Madras, Very tasty!
Sunday was chilly but dry! So I hada little job to do on the Jag which I did in less than 10 minutes and then back home onto teh Poop Deck to plant a few bulbs and sort out any damage the storm had caused. Then it was TV again to watch some Snooker. Magical stuff.
I met up with good friends at the Farmers for our weekly gathering of Cocktails@5. Partiularly pleasant way to conclude the week.

A chilly morning! the temperatures are really fluctuating, but it's sensible to wrap up warmly and stay in "the warm" whenever you can. I even got out my walking anorak ( Spray Way ) which is 100% water and wind proof. It's gorgeous and it even has a full hood with a peak.
There was a curry night fro the members of eth Kings Head Bowling Club last night. We met up at teh Littel Kings, of course, before going over the road to teh NAAZ. Lots of friendly fun and banter witha super meal as well as a couple of Lagers. Afterwards, as you do, we returned to the Little Kings for "just one more". A lovely evening spent with good friends.

The snow has been washed away and it's likely to rain for most of today according to the Met Office.
The high winds have caused a considerable amount of damage, particularly with fallen trees. One tree came down in the Gill car park crashing onto a parked BMW. Ouch! Reports have come in of trees down in Priory Road, Conishead Road, Priory Woods, Sea Wood etc etc. The list goes on. Power was finally restored to properties at Newland Village at 3.45 yesterday and they had been "off" since Saturday morning. But the winds have gone completely now and, curiously, temperatures are set to rise a few degrees. What a strange world we live in?
This new Government restictions have come into force today meaning teh facemasks must be worn in shops and public transport. So I have posted a polite reminder on my door asking vistors to my offices to comply.
Stay Safe! STay Alert!
REMEMBER the Pandemic has NOT gone away!
