Hey there all,
It seems our long weekend trip to the lakes district was a success! I had a job interview in Whitehaven for a perminant post and just heard back from them offering me the job! Being in the lakes district of course I accepted! The role is a community post based in schools in South Cumbria (from town edge to Millom near Furness)with a small componant of inpatient and hospital work in the hospital at Whitehaven itself. Whitehaven is pretty small and a bit run down but there are somelovely areas near by that are a bit more affluent. Best of all it is near the Mountains, lakes and huge amount of mountain biking and walking trails on our back step. Being near the coast it is harder to get out (a long drive) for traveling outside the lakes area but still we are very happy. At this stage we are aiming to be there for Sept 1st.
While we were there we had a good hunt around the are spending a little bit of time in Kendel and more in Keswick. We stayed at a remote backpackers at Skaddaw involving a 3 mile walk into the hut.

The views were stunning and while quite touristy I think it will suit us to a tee!
Work here is still going well. I am slowely getting a handle on the new equipment and systems (as usual working with the kids is the easiest bit!). The 3 weeks of fantastic weather has given way to showers and wind but still it is nothing like the 'bad weather' of home. Other than that we are both well, exploring the island still. This weekend we hope to support (kayak beside) a girl who is swimming the lenght of the island for a few hours so it will be good to get back in a boat. Fi and Stu are looking at coming over next weekend so more fun to be had then!
I hope everyone is well (and keeping warm!)
Till next time
