Spring is in the air!
22/01/2009 by Ted.
Have just has a scintillating walk through Barrow Park. Wind a bit cool but the sun was shining and there were plenty of people about. Also - good news - the ducks and geese hadn’t become Christmas dinners for hungry Barrovians. They are all back again today and more beautiful than ever. The seagulls who I left standing on the ice - which has now melted - have forsaken the water and are sitting on top of the posts which decorate the edges of the lake as you may be able to see in the photograph. And the best news is that the pussywillow catkins are out as you can also see in the photographs. Wow - Spring is certainly in the air. Anyway, here are the photos, which, click on the thumbnails as usual to see a larger picture.
And, from the headline shown below from the local Evening Mail last night, it seems that Barrow-in-Furness is bucking the depression trend which is sweeping the world.
Not bad, even when you consider that in its heyday the shipyard employed around 30,000 people.
