Cumbria can be sunny too, somtimes
Posted by cumbrianvixens
Evening one and all and for once it’s me Jenny posting something! But before we get onto the matter at hard lets check out that important Cumbrian weather forecast.
Summer really has (for the moment) hit the Cumbrian landscape and bathed everything in a nice warm embracing glow. It’s fantastic but Cumbria is the wettest place in England so in a way the weather is letting the side down a bit really isn’t it. The sunny weather means that we can have a few meals and parties outside and the long summer evenings are perfect for a nice lazy evening and not having to worry about the evenings getting dark.
But this weather has made work a lot harder and for some reason although constant rain floods our home and can play havoc with our yard, working in the sun can really wear you out and working in it all day makes you really dozy. By the time you get in from work all you want to do is shower, have dinner and then get on up to bed.
We have though find time to relax during the week and have had a BBQ, which we all enjoy but Motoko hates cooking on gas BBQs but we had no option to as re ran out of charcoal. Also found that cooking with a hotplate onto of a gas BBQ grill cooks what ever your cooking far better than just having it on the normal grill. To prove this fact below is a film that we filmed, it’s a short random video. Enjoy.
Tomorrow is a momentous day tomorrow as it’s our daughter’s birthday so we have taken the day off work tomorrow in aid of this. Sadly Amanda is unwell at the moment but recovering fast, but we didn’t want to work on her first birthday with us and being ill as well on your birthday is never fun.
That’s about all I am going to blog today, and sorry it’s just a short update but work was a long hot day and I want to get dinner underway and then relax with my family.

About cumbrianvixens
Konnichiwa! Our names are Motoko and Jenny Carter, and on the 15th December 2005 we got married! We live in the chilly, wet place called Lake District, which is the wettest place in England! I lived in Japan from the age of five and only came back to England to live for good, one year after I and Jenny got married. I worked in Japan as a JASDF Pilot, and came back to England to visit Jenny. Jenny has always lived in Cumbria all her life, and has a rich Cumbrian accent, and was a member of the Territorial Army as a Medic. We both love horses and Kayaking, which are two of our greatest pastimes. We own a Beneteau First 30 sailing yacht, which we brought at the Southampton boat show on the 21st September 2011. Before that we used to own a Beneteau First 35 yacht. I and Jenny are owners of the yard the riding school, which we brought from the original owners in late 2010. We are now turning the yard into a horse trekking centre. Weather here is randomly sunny or wet, cold and damp. Never really an in-between weather pattern here! But if your kayaking and its raining you get wet anyway so weather doesn't really put us off working or doing out door things. I am pretty easy going and mostly very random, sometimes slow on the uptake as far as using English goes. On 4th of April 2011 we adopted a teenage girl called Amanda, who we had been fostering a few months before we decide we would take the next step and adopt her. I and Jenny have always been happy with the way our relationship was but there was always something we both agreed that was missing. That something of course was a daughter or son. After a few months of fostering Amanda we decided to adopt her, and we feel that our relationship is now complete and that all three of us are very happy.Posted on July 11, 2011, in Adoption, Cumbrian Life, Family Related, Fostering, Outdoors Things and tagged Adoption, BBQ, Birthday, Blog, Charcoal, Cook, Cooking, Cumbria, Cumbrian Weather, Daughter, Food, Grill, Hot, Lake District, Rain, Raining, Stable, Stables, Sunny, Update, Warm, Warmth, Weather, Work, Working.
