Here's a tidbit I just learned about my former workplace, The Armitt in Ambleside - who knows if it's actually true 👀🦍

It was my last day at The Armitt - thank you to Faye Morrissey, Rebecca Holgate and everyone there for my presents and cards, it's been a great three and a half years of learning and laughter ✨💕
Onwards and upwards, but make sure The Armitt is on your list of top places to see in the Lakes!

It’s Mothering Sunday in the UK tomorrow. I’ll be returning from a conference in Hamburg; if, like me, you’ve been a bit distracted, fear not! Pathfinding might just be the perfect gift. Dive into your local independent bookshop to find it.

Loved learning all about the history of Grasmere School
this afternoon as it welcomed the village in to celebrate being 400 years old! Particularly interesting seeing all the old school records (1860s shown here) and the scrap book from the centenary of Wordsworth’s death (1950). Village life.

What way does the wind come? What way does he go?
He rides over the water, and over the snow,
Through wood, and through vale; and o’er rocky height,
Which the goat cannot climb, takes his sounding flight...
