Cumbria

There  have been times in the last few years when I have wondered whether this country still had the community spirit and infrastructure skills which got us through the war. I mean WWII. Panic buying in supermarkets during the fuel blockade did not bode well.

Cumbria has proved there is nothing to fear. The spirit of the people is as indomitable as ever. Communities act as one. A railway station built in seven days. The Army’s footbridge well on the way. The people of Cumbria have shown us what we can do. What we really are. But they still need help. When you do Christmas shopping on line, spend some money on stuff from Cumbria. They deserve it.
