We’ve been meaning to do this for ages and my pre-New Year’s resolution was to start the blog and newsletter, so here we are... Obviously it is going to be an informal affair, but there are usually so many bits and pieces going on, that I will struggle not to write too much rather than the other way round. Also, all those people who have stayed here – if you want to email me any nuggets of information, nature sightings (keep an eye out for those red squirrels, especially at the bottom of the road), photos, or just general comments, please feel free to do so and we’ll put them up on the blog. It would be amazing to get all-year-round comments from people staying at the school! Contact me (Emily) at info@waitbyschool.com
Likewise, we’ll be using this section to update you on events that are happening around Kirkby Stephen, and keep you up to date with those all important restaurant and pub recommendations. We’ll keep you updated on favourite and new walks, too, and might even throw in the odd recipe (using local produce, of course).
Anyway, we were digging around some old photos and came across this one of Waitby School a long time before George and the family had the wherewithal to do it up. I remember him taking me to the school about 18 years ago and peering through the windows because the keys had been lost. Dark and dusty inside and a lot of sheep poo outside. He certainly had the vision for renovating it though, even then. I hope you agree that it looks a bit more loved today. It has to be said that the boys’ toilets don’t look all that different!
