Sorry for the lack of blogging of late. Reason is the usual mixture of laziness and holidays. As a seal I love water but the excessive rainfall was not welcome recently as I joined my family at Ullswater, Lake District. As the scenery is so spectacular this never disappoints and, if I'm honest, the rain even enhances it to some, albeit subjective, extent. However activities are nonetheless curtailed by the weather. The only decent break from it saw us in the lovely town of Keswick, a centre for dog lovers as there were dozens on view. Our own dog, Ellie, collapsed with diabetic related problems but is now better.
I returned early to play bowls and it was worth it with a rare win. On return here the news of the closure of the area's largest employer, a meat production plant, was sad as 1700 jobs will go. Although the Council and Government are now involved the international nature of such large companies mean there will be little they can do. As a vegetarian I suppose I've not helped their cause though.
