Monday meal

We've been away for a long weekend and just got back today ( Tuesday). We went to stay with our friends, Karen and Chris, in Eskdale Green in the Lake District. Chris is the younger brother of my first husband and he and Karen supported me and the family through a very bad time. When I met Roland they got on with him like a house on fire and we have been friends with them ever since.
On Saturday we went up to stay with them because Chris was having a retirement party. He has worked in a signal box for about 40 years, First in Great Corby then at Sellafield  station.
Today is the first official day of his retirement.
I wasn't sure if I could get my laptop on internet up there so I didn't take it with me - so lots of catching up to do.

 

Our Evening Meal

on Saturday

 

Yesterday we went to visit Laura and Andrews farm. Rowan, who is two took us round to show us the farm. He helps his daddy around the farm and his job is feeding the hens and the ducks and he is getting very good at it.

 

It is a hill farm and the sheep are Herdwicks.

I love the black lambs
