What a day we had yesterday!
After thinking we’d made the long drive to Carlisle for nothing when Winter Droving was cancelled, we suddenly found ourselves with the opportunity to take part in the Penrith Gathering!
It was lovely to meet so many people and chat about my hand-felted masks and how they’re made.
Robin even found himself being interviewed for ITV Border News and made a brief appearance on the six o’clock bulletin!
And for me, a particular highlight was chatting to Cumbria Guide in this lovely, impromptu interview.
A day that turned out rather differently from anything we’d planned — but what a wonderful surprise!
Huge thanks to everyone who made us so welcome in Penrith, and to for the interview and permission to share it. 🌿
