There's been some more rain overnight, but it's dry now and cooler.
Yesterday started off rainy and bleak, but that soon cleared, and a lovely sunny day followed, right until the late evening.
I heard the news that a former character of the town, a well-loved lady. Irene Povey has passed away. Many will remember her with the Homestead Cafe, adn before that, the restaurant in Fountain Street.
Renowned for her permanent grin and laughter nd outstanding personality. A lovely lady. The Funeral is set for Friday 1st August 11.30am at Ellers Chapel, Ulverston.
BRIGHT CLOTHING IS REQUESTED to reflect Irene's attitude to life.
Next Wednesday, 30th July, is the ULVERSTON AND NORTH LONSDALE AGRICULTURAL SHOW at Lindal. I have tickets for sale in my offices. Ringside £15 , Adults £10. Children £5 . Kids under 5 are FREE! This is a grand day out for all the family! Don't miss it!,

It is dry at present in Uverston but some heavy rain is imminent according to the Met Office. There is a possible chance of a thunderstorm, too.
Some old friends are visiting Ulverston, and they kindly called in to see me. It was a pleasure, and a very nice surprise, to see them again. Especially as they are both looking so fit and well.
I finished catching up on Line of Duty last evening. What a good series that was! I need to search for another good series to get my teeth into. Any suggestions?
It is the Festival of Transport this weekend in Barrow, as well as Cartmel Races if you fancy a little bet on a horses?
I hope you all enjoy, whatever you are doing, a nice weekend.
Stay Safe! Stay Alert! Stay Calm! BE NICE TO ONE ANOTHER AND SHOW COMPASSION!
