Winter weather

Dr Robert Woof

Tony Harrison

Last night an event was canceled due to winter weather. We were meant to go to Dove Cottage in Grasmere to see Tony Harrison read poems by Dr Robert Woof and his own poems also. An event to honour the late Dr Woof by a poet/playwright who very rarely makes appearances. A unique and special opportunity. Needless to say we were very disappointed BUT it has been re-scheduled to a month later which actually means that it will be lighter and will make travelling over to Cumbria nicer.So all is well so far...
The drive over there is gorgeous; first along the Roman road which follows Hadrians Wall then through the lake district with its high hills, valleys and lakes.The small sheep farms dotted around the place are very enticing and you cannot help but imagine yourself living there.
