Title: Anybody been to Blaithwaite? Post by: Annahavil on June 21, 2008, 07:23:53 AM Church Week-end to Blaithwaite
As you will see later if you go to the website, Blaithwaite is in the North of England. Here is part of my account of this wonderfull place to spend a few days: We set off about 5.30 for Blaithwaite with Sue and Dick and went by the Lakes. Arrived about 7.00 and got registered and shown to our rooms. Lovely as we went up the staircae with a big picture on each side and a coat of arms on window. Two lovely sitting rooms with lovely plaster ceilings and one of the alcoves had a statue. Furnished a bit like a stately home but not as grand. Most rooms apart from the bedrooms had lovely palster ornate ceilings. Supper was at 8.00 in Ellrigg (building behind barn) and we had soup, cheese and biscuit and cake. At 9.15 the welcome session where we met ther staff etc. Then Paul Baxendale started with our theme Seeing what really matters - what Revelation is (and is not) Revelation 1:1-9. We had singing with a specially new hymn to learn and then at 10.15 a short break. Then hot chocolate and bickies in the main house at 10.30 and lots of chat. http://www.blaithwaite.co.uk/index.htm Title: Re: Anybody been to Blaithwaite?

Looks like a beautiful place! We're in the US and have never been to the UK but those pictures make me want to fly right over! Beautiful! Nice to meet you, by the way. God Bless Barbara |
