Kirkby Lonsdale a blast from the past

Todays blog was going to be about a walk around a couple of the lagoons here in Victoria - sea birds and stuff, but when we got back to the trailer for a late lunch I received this email link from middle daughter Emily - about the recent happenings in a sleepy northern market town Kirkby Lonsdale, which is my home town.  The article appeared in the Daily Mail. There is also a link to Kirkby Lonsdale's own website.   Apologies to the folks in and around Kirkby, your probably sick to death of it all.                                          
Enjoy the pictures.http:/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2478845/Pictured-Sleepy-market-town-transformed-eerie-backdrop-BBC-adaption-classic-novel-Jamaica-Inn.html
     The picture of the river valley at the beginning of our blog is a scene called Ruskins View taken from the church yard in Kirkby looking across the River Lune to the fells (hills are called fells in this part of England) in the distance.  Ruskin called this the best view in England hence its name.
