How beautiful life has been here in Rossendale this past few weeks. Yes, we've had our share of the snow but only enough to make Rossendale even more beautiful!
Our promise to serve only fresh, local produce when possible went to new extremes with our breakfast visitors this morning.............................
They stayed a couple of hours enjoying their fresh breakfast!
Easter was eventful in Rossendale.... over the Easter weekend we had the Rossendale Artisan market on our newly created town square. The market attracted a few thousand visitors into town of which two of them were us :) We took advantage of the sunny crisp weather and walked over the back hill and down into town. It was a lovely walk which took us approx 30 minutes. The welcoming food tent had a varied selection of foody delights from Italy, Greece, China and of course Rossendale. Local producers had their wares on sale: clothes, soap, wooden toys/ornaments, jewellry, cakes, bread, kitchen wares etc. etc. such an array. Our walk back via Newchurch was broken by a well earned rest (!) and a little gargle.
Our world famous coconutters once again led the Easter Saturday parade attracting visitors both nationally and worldwide.
Easter Monday saw the annual clog cobbin competition held at The Roebuck, Burnley Road East Scoutbottom. Contestants chuck their "clog" over their head backwards with the furthest chuck winning the title. Traditionally borne from the local shoe industry fun and frivolity continues all day around this fun loving event.
Who needs Easter bunnies with the colourful characters of Rossendale!!
You gotta luv it!
