The snowdrops are out in profusion in our woods & the famous Lakeland daffodils are now blooming in the warm spring sunshine.
We are getting through lambing time & are thankful for some warmth & growing grass.
We still have lambs in the barn (hope you have all been watching 'lambing live'!) which are very popular with our guests.
Having looked through the Cumbria Life magazine I see that there are some great art & craft exhibitions to be seen around the county in the many excellent galleries. One of my favourites is The Up Front Gallery near Hutton in the Forest, Penrith. You can also buy excellent local crafts & enjoy a delicious lunch or afternoon tea! Exciting new developments can be found at the Staveley Mill Yard, where you will find the famous Wilfs cafe & Wheelbase, also new galleries & shops.
Cumbria has much to offer in the way of crafts & local food - don't just walk, eat your way around Lakeland! We have so much fantastic, fresh, homemade & preserved produce which can easily be found in every area - farm shops, local shops & farmers markets, & also centres such as Rheged near Penrith & Artisan shop & Restaurant at Booths supermarket in Kendal.
