Day at Buttermere and the Alfred & Betty Wainwright Memorial Service

On Saturday 28th February, Peter Linney and I spent the day up at Buttermere in the Lake District. After a walk around the village and Lake we then went to the Memorial Service for Alfred and Betty Wainwright. Betty died last August and it was felt appropriate to have the service for both her and AW who passed away in 1991. Details of the pictures can be found below each of them.
