Dear firstname,
The images of Cumbria's recent floods have been a shock to us all. It's a county that relies on tourism, so please do give generously, if you can, to the Flood Recovery Fund. We'd all like to see Cumbria back up on its feet. Click here
to donate through the Cumbria Community Foundation.
As December creeps up on us, perhaps it's time to think about Christmas. This year, if you're tempted by an escape to the countryside with family and friends, we have a few last minute deals in this newsletter for Christmas and New Year.
