Dodging the rain today we escaped the house for a quick walk around Victoria park in Carlisle. One good thing is that so far we have not seen anything of the snow that was promised by the weather people. Parts of our park had an unusual smell today, emitted by some plants which mum said [...]

Bank holidays spent at home and out of the rain seem to be a thing of the past as we manage to get into the big world once more. Lime kilns and castles were on the agenda yesterday as we went in search for content for one of our other websites called heritageandhistory.com. Our first [...]
