 This
is probably one of the worst years we have ever encountered in
Cumbria and in particular West Cumbria for many a generation. Floods
and tragic road accidents are bad enough, but even they, as tragic
as they were, were surpassed ... |

 The

 "How about a bit of gentle
fell walking”, Mike said, having seen me in the garden one day –
“but nothing too strenuous”, he added, “I’m trying to strengthen
this knee that’s giving me trouble”. .... |

 Jennifer and Jimmy Jackson couldn’t have been more different from each
other. Jennifer was a quiet, serene lady while Jimmy was much more extrovert
– but this worked well for them as a couple. They led busy lives from their

Copeland will never quite be the same again,

We had been invited, along with local band, MT Arms to be part of an
