Happy Birthday Blog!

It dawned on me today that my blogging efforts are now one year old. I started after last new year when we had made the decision to move. A lot has happened in the last 12 months!

Mark and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary last week and marked the day by taking the children to visit the beautiful little village of Wetheral, about 4 miles east of Carlisle.

There is a beautiful church with a very poignant memorial to the first woman soldier to be killed in Aghanistan

A charming village green surrounded by Victorian villas

and a lovely railway viaduct with incredible views of the surrounding area


Just to make the day extra special, my lovely Marky had secretly arranged a babysitter and took me out for dinner at the excellent Cumberland Arms Hotel in Alston.
