On Friday I went to Eskdale to attend the Olympic Cushion Stuffing Event. I was last there. Friday can be busy for me - weekly shop day n'all. After Mary-Jane's lunch we set off. Ten minutes or so before setting off, I had some devastating news about a close friend, which spun me out more than alot. I shall write about this after, it's a big issue and deserves a seperate post.
So Mary-Jane and I set off, with me being in a bit of a state inside. The journey to Eskdale is beautiful. It was a bit of a grey cloudy misty sort of day. This is looking back on where we came from, before the final descent into Eskdale - or so it appears to me.
I've just realised that the photos are not in order that I took them, but never mind, you will get the gist.
This is a view from the car park just down from the village hall, facing towards the right, don't ask whether it is north or south etc, I don't have a clue at the mo. Stunning.
This is from the same place but facing to the left

The Village Hall is, as I understand it, below the church, rather underneath the church. It is the Church St Bega. More history for me to find out.

There were over 60 cushions made. Women came from all over the county of Cumbria to bring their cushions. I wish I was able to have got there sooner to meet some and been more part of the day. Things happen for reasons.
