It's been a sunny day in Ulverston and the cottage was the best place to cool down, chat and make something sweet, colourful and nut-free if required with Lindsay Ward and her assistant Emily.
Our neighbours brought flowers to brighten the room, Iain was on hand with the introductions and the local knowledge, and soon one half of the cottage was buzzing with talk about Sir John, the Ice Age, The Isle Of Man and the the Roman occupation while in the other half our visitors sat down with Lindsay and Emily and got to work..
There is something very pleasing about making a small pear from marzipan...I had first go...my bananas weren't quite as successful...
We'll be in the cottage again on saturday (July 28th), this time with Alex. The plan is to walk his 9ft high 'obby' 'oss around the garden.
Iain will be on hand next thursday with his books, artefacts and arcane knowledge, and on August 11th, Ellie Chaney will be hosting a drawing session.
Look out for more information.
So, plenty going on at The Sir John Barrow Cottage.
Luckily Emily provided a visitors comments book for today..
"an unexpected surprise for us to take part in some wonderful marzipan fruit decorating. Thank you."
"...expert tuition from Emily Ward and Lindsay, Emily's mum."
Come and see us.
