December Photot Project :: A Festival Of Angels

I am hoping that this yearly tradition will kick start a commitment to popping in here on a regular basis.  I must admit I am still trying to find a new routine since moving just over six weeks ago.

We have had a fair number of busy days these past few weeks what with college/school attendance and appointments we are usually in the car at least five days a week.  I could do with a few more days at home and thankfully there is a light at the end of the tunnel and over the next few weeks things should slow down, thank God! Our regular commitments are as follows:  Benedict attends college on a Monday and Friday and  Pip is currently in her third week at St Benedict's Academy.  She attends on a Monday and Thursday and a half day on a Friday, in between we continue with our home school studies.  In addition to the regular subjects of Maths, English, History and Catechesis, she is also studying Latin, Greek and French.  She enjoys her time there and already had a friendship base as we know another home school family that have been attending since the New Year.

On a cold and very damp morning, we dropped Benedict off at Heron Corn Mill for a volunteer day and we then made our way to Cartmel for a browse round, followed by lunch in Grange.  We had hoped to meet with Sara, Tom and Oliver, but sadly Sara was full of a cold and recovering from a horrendous migraine attack, despite this the three of us had a really lovely day.








 Acorn Montessori School, "Autumnal Angel."


Cartmel Art Society, "Art Angel CAS"


Cartmel CE Primary School, " Mighty Oaks From Little Acorns Grow."


Cartmel Surgery, " Up Hill and Down Dale," Cartmel Doctors go the extra mile!


 Newton and Field Broughton W.I " Suffragettes Inspiring Women Down The Ages."






Recipe for a Festival Of Angels:

In January 2018, take one bonkers idea,
Mention it to one receptive vicar,
Discuss with one enthusiastic social committee,
Find one incredibly generous joiner,
Talk to the Guild of Cartmel Traders AGM,
Contact lots of Community Groups,
Beg, borrow, but never steal, contributions and assistance,
Allow to marinate, develop and grow for 11 months.
Open the Priory doors on November 30th and be Amazed :-)  

If any blogging friends wish to join the fun, the sign up link is posted, here

The angels are beautiful! Your days do sound very busy, which is inevitable with growing young people :) I wish you love and luck as the weeks roll by . . it's so wonderful to be all together learning, running errands, chauffeuring! You do a lot San (and you just moved!!), so don't forget to go easy on yourself :) Sending a big hug xoxoxo
