Saturday
We opened the bedroom curtains on Saturday to the most wonderful BLUE sky.
I am trying to finish a cloth book for our nephew so we can take it over later.
(Oh dear...Hubby's not happy...Wales lost the Rugby match)
The girls loved their cushions by the way.
I took them over last week

In January this year we started off on a walk from here and you can read about it here.
and in July 2009 we walked around it here.
We went to Settle, one of our favourite places.
we had lunch at Ye Olde Naked Man Cafe.
and stocked up on Courting Cake (jam slice)

Then we drove to nearby Stainforth.
We set off from the village, over the stile and across the field to Cat Steps.
Up the limestone steps
Through the trees
to the top of the crag and go over the stile straddling the beautiful lime stone wall.
Over the tops
and a look back at the view
breath taking!
then on to Winskill Farm
towards Catrigg Force
Then down the track back towards Stainforth

Then down the track back towards Stainforth
Over the stepping stones over Stainforth Beck.
And back to the car park. It was a lovely day.

Sunday
I have managed to finish the book
It started with a sketch and mock-up book
I hope he likes it.
Great photos! I feel like I went on the walk too (only not as windswept and exhilarated as if I'd actually done so!) - beautiful! The book is sure to be a hit - it looks fantastic!

What a lovely walk through beautiful countryside. I think where you live is my favourite part of England - and that is saying something as I love just about everywhere I've been. These lovely walks are the jewel in England's crown don't you think?
ReplyDeleteCheers
Of Course your pillows were a hit. They were beautiful and sewn with a whole lot of love. The little book will be hit too. I don't know which of your English countryside photos is my fav. "All of them" would be an honest answer. England is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI bet the book is ngoing to be as loved as the cushions! So many of us were out and about at the weekend on walks in that fabulous sunshine and blue sky. Only problem now is my husband is in agony as it's set his bad back off again.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful walk, one we have done many times, I love love that area even thought of buying a house there (before prices went up in the late 90s) Your cloth book looks gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk, gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteI could just eat some of that Courting cake.
What a glorious walk. I went from Settle to Carlisle last year on the train - it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh - the countryside. Such beautiful pics.

Loving your walk photos - I feel homesick but in a nice kind of way. Great book, I am sure it will be a big hit. Bethx
ReplyDeleteIt is no wonder that the girls loved their pillows, and what a treasure Luke's book is!! Lyn, as always, I feel that I have visited so many beautiful and inspiring places through your photographs and descriptions. Thank you so much for sharing your weekend with us!! xx
ReplyDeleteThe pillows are so beautiful, it's impossible not to love and cherish such lovely gifts! I absolutely love all the pictures you took, Settle is such a wonderful place to see!
ReplyDeleteAnd the book looks just as great, too!

Hiya Lyn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk, it made me very very nostalgic for my long lost summer holidays....I grew up on the border of North Yorkshire and County Durham and we often went to Reeth and environs, paddling in Becks and wandering over dry stone walls... Your gorgeous photos brought it all flooding back, how lovely!
