To be honest, haven't a clue what was going on, but was very atmospheric!
Was a gloriously sunny day but soooo cold, 4 degrees!!
Various locals pretending to be Georgians! Actually ended up buying 3 packs of sausages along Market Place. I was waiting for the library to open at 10am to hand back this month's book club books & collect next month's but was a bit too early, so ended up having a wander & spending money hadn't intended to, but they did taste very nice; Cumberland, Sweet Chilli & Pork & Stilton.
The oldest house in Cockermouth, Percy House, & originally owned by the Percy Family, it was horribly flooded but is back better than ever. It has the most wonderful plaster ceiling upstairs
These days it's a very exclusive arts & crafts gallery, which I'm lucky enough to be part of, if you look very carefully you can see some of my curly wurly scarves in the window!
These are Morris Dancers dressed up ready to perform, but they reminded us so much of the mask festival that our son attended in Burkina Faso
And the 1st stall we came upon was raising money for a Water Aid project in Burkina Faso. Thought no-one other than ourselves had ever heard of it! Small world....
