Hello Rita. Regional accents are endlessly fascinating – thanks for sharing this memory and I will think of it as Sawrey Knotts Broo now!

(I mean, as in a small hill or slope. She didn’t say “eyebroo”.)

Hello Tom. I think it’s wonderful that a tower, built so that a family could enjoy picnics and prospects, could later become the last resting place of a couple who also loved that spot.

WOW! QUITE A HISTORY!
AS FOR MYSELF, A SIMPLE URN WILL BE MY FINAL (EARTHLY) ADDRESS.
YOUR INITIAL PHOTO OF THE HOUSE, PROVED MOST INTERESTING.
AS I, ALONG WITH MY SPOUSE, SHELDON (BARR) OF 50 YEARS, NOW FACE
THE TASK OF ‘ORGANISING’ SUCH DETAILS OF THIS NEXT … ‘JOURNEY.’
IN CLOSING, REMEMBER: ‘NO ONE GETS OUT OF THIS LIFE … ALIVE’
