Andrew Thomas Gazette columnist Andrew Thomas is talking all things Westmorland.. ON a visit to Kendal’s twin town Rinteln some years ago a German friend who was showing me around indicated a statue of Kaiser Wilhelm 1 and he said whenever he returned to the area it was seeing the monument on a hill that made him realise he was home again. Which local landmarks or characteristics about the place where we live give us a real sense of belonging? Over the years when I have returned to Kendal from other parts of the country or from abroad it is the sight of Farleton Knott, rising above me to my right as I drive along the M6, that makes me feel I am back home.
