Looking back eight years! by happypat

Looking back eight years!

This photo popped up on my FB page this morning!
Back at the farm during my very busy bed & breakfast days.
We had stopped actual farming so no cows to milk but still a busy time.
I was ironing at the kitchen table with my iron press & little Ginger the hen used to come in the open kitchen door to say hello.
Lily is in the picture too…..sadly neither with us any more.
Ginger got chased by a b&b dog & Lilly died of old age.
Happy days!

Last night four of us went to Leck near Kirkby Lonsdale to watch Wicked Little Letters.
The DIL of one of us arranges a showing in the village hall.
Very good, the language was a bit fruity & I wasn’t the only one not to catch what the actors said always.
Olivia Cornwall & Timothy Spall but the young actress who played Rose was excellent.

We have Connie overnight as Cathy & Garth are at the Radio two festival in Moor Park
Excuse my ignorance, but what is DIL please? My brother has tame pheasants wandering in!!

A flashback from your very busy B&B days and happy memories of the animals in your life.

I love this throwback photo of your time when still on the farm, Pat, and to read a bit about it. Yes, sad about the little hen and your sweet kitty. But life goes on, doesn't it, with or without the animals we love!

What a lovely photo, the film was a hoot and based on a true story. When I saw it you could hear the sharp intake of breath from a lot of the audience at the first few fruity words!

I'm looking forward to seeing that movie. I daresay Ginger hoped there would be some food dropped on the floor with all the cooking you did!

Ah we remember it well. Your welcome and care was always the very best kind of B&B.....and at Latus Hall Farm before that. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Sweet capture of a very busy time in your lives. Isn’t it wonderful that you thought of taking photos of such simple moments?

Pat, I love this. It's inviting, and literally is as the chicken proves my point. I hope you are all doing well.

@digitalrn Hi Rick, yes still here going strong! You would remember this perhaps! Hope you are & your family…Jose? are well. The grandchildren will be growing big.
