I was looking at another blog recently and my eye was caught by the name of a blog listed on the author's sidebar. Thoughts from Walney Island.
Not a place that you hear about very often but Walney Island is in fact where we were living when our younger son was born.
A was working on the Morecombe Bay Gas project at the time and we spent a very happy year on Walney Island which is part of Cumbria. I spent many pleasant hours pushing a pram around the island; such a small place that you could easily walk from end to end in a very short while and around the coast. Usually whenever I mention Walney to anybody, they say, 'where??' Being a 'Southerner' born and bred and having spent most of my life in the South East, I too had never heard of Walney before we moved up there.
Naturally I was curious to see what was happening in Walney today and it was very interesting to hear about the parish church that we had attended nearly 25 years ago. Good to learn everything is going well 'oop North'.
