In these uncharted times, it seems almost as though life has been put on hold, however spring seems to disagree thankfully.
The Barrow cover, this time last year not even in place, is now showing signs of the beautiful wild flowers which we planted on it when it was completed last July. Small buds of blue, pink and yellow are appearing, and given it’s shape, one sides flowers are emerging ahead of the other!
Not to forget our local community, we’ve been baking and delivering cupcakes to our neighbours doorsteps, some of whom we haven’t met before, to try to bring a bit of cheer to their day.
At the Barrow today, as well as spotting the flowers, we went inside, leaving behind the midday warmth. That feeling when you enter just doesn’t seem to ever leave me. Before we even reached the gate, the coolness inside became apparent, and the transformation once inside was breathtaking. That surreal calmness: if only I could bottle that tranquility. It seemed to take me away from the stress that life seems to constantly throw at us. For a few minutes whilst inside, everything seemed to be alright.
To everyone reading this, please stay safe, look after each other, and once we’re able to, come and share the Barrow feeling with me.
