Over the past few weeks we have become aware of a few new signs appearing on our walks.
Made in the form of ceramic tiles the small graphical artworks depict a local landmark or the extent of the Carlisle floods in 2005.
Interestingly the tiles seem to be embedded into the new flood defences.
Searching the web we are unable to find out if others exist or if maybe if they are part of a new trail around Carlisle.
The Civic centre tile is to be found on the new subway entrance from Victoria Park.
A red sign with the River Eden in blue is stuck to the flood defences to the rear of The Sands centre just off Hardwick Circus.
Other news
Things are starting to settle down after all the frost and snow over Christmas.
Local fields and the pavements are all clear of the ice and the damp wet normal weather has returned. We much preferred the ice, as everything looked brighter and we did not get as dirty.
The grown ups have been busy doing computer web stuff like mad since the holidays. Mum says it is like the modern proddy rug, where you gather all the bits and pieces during the summer then sort it all out during the dark winter nights.

A quick update as we are just going to get a bath then settle down to watch some wildlife tv. Well it is Saturday night.
