Today was a sunny day in Weardale where a funeral took place of a well known and respected member of the community of the Dale. And yesterday was spent discussing the funeral arrangements for your old blogger dear readers of Wear and Dao. The Methodist minister of Stanhope was chosen for the job, since your blogger was christened a Methodist and the daughters needed consulting obviously, since when the time comes they'll be chief mourners. So much for funerals ...
Yesterday was spent driving to Barnard Castle in Teesdale in search of sourdough bread at the artisan bakery, Rise, after which we drove to Bishop Auckland to see the family of the kind caring nurse carer home from school.
This morning after the funeral we drove over to Hexham, Nortumberland to see friends at the excellent Community Cafe dedicated to the rehabilitation of addicts ... wonderful work indeed! Then we popped round the corner to see our very good friends Mary and Keith of Gaia the shop selling Eastern style clothing and books. On the way home to Stanhope we fancied an ice cream and called in to Wheelbirks forthe best ice cream for miles around made on site from Jersey cows, then home to Stanhope ... What better way to spend an afternoon in the Sun.
Tomorrow is free from obligations and a trip to Fountains Abbey in Northshire is looking distinctly possible ... who knows dear readers of Wear and Dao ... let's see tomorrow shall we?
