A fabulous day for a lark in the park
Hey ho, welcome to the new look blog. I started to fall out with the old design and felt this was more me 
So, Saturday daytime is drawing to a close and what a be – a – utiful day it has been. In honour of the weather, myself, my girls, two of my besties and their kids went for an afternoon in the park.
The park is a stunning example of an Edwardian park that was revitalised with much needed money from the Lottery Heritage Fund. Like everything else in this town it had fallen into disrepair during the devastating industrial decline of the 90′s that hit Barrow with fury, up until that point, Barrow had relied on it’s industrial shipbuilding backdrop as the town’s employer and wealth generator; although the shipyard still operates and dominates the town’s fortunes, it does so with less than half the workforce it used to. I’m extremely proud of the historical town I live in and if you’d like to read a little more about it click here, this link will take you to the Visit Cumbria site and you can find additional links there for the many exceptionally beautiful assets and fantastic history that Barrow and this area have to offer.
Here are a few photos of our day and more can found on Flickr using the widget on the bottom right, enjoy!
