Uncle Mark Arrives

Mark arrived in Maryport this afternoon, safe and sound. He had a loooong travel day, but seemed to be feeling pretty spry when he arrived. He's only been here a few hours, but already he's had:

A stroll through the graden

A tour of Frankie's school

A "Went" emergency (we had to back down The Went so an ambulance could get through)

A tour of the Kirkborough House, courtesy of Frankie

A visit from Ken's friend, Allen (trying to explain why he couldn't take away the abandoned Suzuki)

A yummy dinner of Cumbrian sausages and carmalized onions

Bathtime with Frank

Tomorrow, I think we'll just take it easy. Maybe a trip to the grocery store, and a tour of Maryport? If I'm feeling particularly adventurous, maybe we'll even go out to dinner at the local pub.

It's so good to have him here-- I'm feeling pretty darn happy tonight.

  1. Hooray! It sounds like a great visit already! Have you had tea and crumpets? Were you dressed like the Queen when he arrived? Better yet, was Mark dressed like the Queen? ;)

  2. Sounds like a wonderful first day. I love the pics--it's so wonderfully green there in the Lake District! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your adventures!
