The Five Sisters

I always find the light from the top window panels above the ‘Five Sisters’ mesmerising and inspiring.

Snowy Farr lived in Oakington and was a well known fundraiser for blind charities.

When Snowy retired he decided he wanted to help raise money for charity, so he stood on Market Hill collecting with his flowing white beard and dressed himself in a antique military uniform with an eccentric looking stripped top hat.

He became a instant success and decided to carry on doing more fundraising, but started to bring some friends with him which included a cat and some white mice.

As the years went by his companions grew to include a cockerel, a duck, pigeons, rabbits, guinea pigs and a goat.

Snowy trained his cat to sit on the top of his hat and the mice would run around the rim.

I have returned from my weekend break, which was arranged so that we could meet up with one of my nephews. We had a lovely weekend and the weather was kind to us putting its sunny hat on for the weekend.

On our return the weather was still favourable allowing us to  enjoy an al fresco (fine dining) experience on our patio.

More on the weekend break soon… When I have gathered my photographs and thoughts together ;-)
