A cool but very pleasant morning. Some rain expected later and then some sunny spells. The forecast for Saturday is lookinng good , which is what is wanted for the fabulous LANTERN PROCESSION.
I was interested to see that a little village down the south of England has declared "independence" in retaliation at the decision made by the government to house 1,2oo illegal immigrants in a nearby former military base!
Let us see where that gets to?
It was revealed that the Bank Rate is to be held at 3.75%. It was a split decision (6-3) by the committee. They did, however, warn that should the war in the Middle East continue, then that rate may increase at the next decision meeting.
There is some work continuimg at the former Factory Shop in The Gill. I hope matters will continue uninterrupted, and that the new shop will be opened shortly.
STAY SAFE. STAY ALERT, STAY CALM!

A cool morning here in Ulverston! It is expected to brighten up later.
I have seen that there is some "action" at the former Original Factory Shop and have been told that it i going to open hortly as teh YOURSHIRE TRADING COMPANY. I do hope so .
The parking around the building has been eagerly used for free since the shop closed and the FAIR which has arrived in the Gill have put notices all around asking for people to move their cars as the spaces are needed by the showmen.
The organisers of teh LANTERN PROCESSION all have their nfingers crossed for dry weather on Saturday evening! Have you made your lantern?
STAY SAFE. STAY ALERT. STAY CALM
