September 6th 2015 - The Grotto

September 6th 2015 - The grotto

No i've not gone mad and decorated my house and i'm not referring to Santa, i'm referring to "the grotto" at Cleator Moor in Cumbria attached to St Mary's Church where they hold the local pilgrimage.

I'm not a religious person, I never have been and I don't plan to start now.  Yes I did go to a catholic school and I had the same respect at school and for those that are religious that I showed today.  I was there as part of the St John Ambulance First Aid team that were requested to help with getting people off buses and into wheelchairs/down to the grotto area for the service.

There was a lot of people there but not as many as previous years apparently.
