weekend part 2

Sunday
8.35am Wake to the muffled sound as a car drives past the house. I open the curtains and yes...the snow is still here.
Breakfast for the birds, Lucy then us....in that order!

9.30am
walk up the garden with Lucy.


10.30am
I do a spot more knitting........
....... while hubby clears the drive.

12.25pm
Tomato soup for lunch

1.15pm
set off for a walk

1.52pm
Up passed Kebroyd Hall
along Clapgate lane
1.54pm
We look at the tracks left in the snow...they might be hare tracks.

I love this line of trees on the hill to our left and I have taken loads of photos of them over the years. This is one of my favourite walks.
2.05pm
Past the village of Millbank
2.10pm
Up Foxen Lane towards Lane Head.



Lane Head is a 17th-century yeoman clothier's house. The lintel is dated RF MF for Richard Firth (1627) and Michael Foxcroft (1692)
2.32pm
turn left down High Field Lane
Past the cutest little greenhouse...with grapes growing inside!


the lane soon turns into a track.

and remember that line of trees we saw from Clapgate lane, the ones I keep taking photos of? well these are those very trees.
2.42pm
Some dark looking clouds over there

time to head home
3pm
Hubby settles with Lucy on his knee and computer on the arm of the chair to do some work while the Ireland Wales match is on.
4.30pm
The moon is rising

5.09pm
Wales won the match. I do some more knitting.
6.30pm

Fish and Chips for tea.....I know they look a bit insipid but they were delicious!

7.30pm
A bit more knitting, reading blogs and watching Countryfile

 and looking forward to The Time Traveller's Wife on Channel 4 at 9pm.
What a lovely weekend.

  2. Lovely photos, reminds me of the many years I spent living in the Republic of Yorkshire. I lived near Bingley and still return regularly to visit my dear friends.

    Lucy reminds me so much of my cat Tiger - he loves the snow and does this strange shuffle throw the deepest snow he can find - we always say that he is snow ploughing!

    Lots of snow here too, we had a lovely afternoon walk and saw lots of birds. Our local forest has a big bird feeding station - you can imagine the activity on a cold day like today!

  3. I have really enjoyed seeing your weekend. Love the photo of the tracks in the snow and the photo at 2.10 where the clouds in the sky seem to mirror the tracks of snow on the ground.

  15. What beautiful photos of your walk up on the moors, I love the one of Foxen Lane towards Lane Head - wonderful! And you had sun and the palest of blue skies to make the snow sparkle. We have deep snow too, but under the grey sky it looked very different.

    The snow is sticking around and today the sky id clearing - another walk with my camera, I think :-)

    And it's nice to come home to a cosy home with cats and knitting, isn't it!

  20. I love accompanying you on your walks! (Mind you, my feet are quite cold enough sitting here inside my house, so am glad it's a virtual walk right now!) Lane Head is the image I have in my mind when reading Wuthering Heights!

  24. We wouldn't even have to garden to truly enjoy this cute greenhouse.
    We could sit 'n knit while having some afternoon tea.

    Oh, how I love your curly scarf.

    hugs

  25. ooooh i did enjoy this post! and those below it very much. i wished those chips were real too ;o)
    your Lucy is lovely girl, she has such a sweet presence =^.^=
    and your ruffles look very interesting, i shall return to check on their progress.
    we only had a tiny dusting of snow here, it was pretty but cold. i think that snow has got colder since i've got older, i still like it though.
    i feel feel when i visit your blog, rather like i do when i've read a chapter of a miss. read book. it's a lovely cosy sort of feeling.

    warmest wishes to you xxx

  27. hello! my first visit- not sure how I ended up here, but your snowy photos are gorgeous! such an expanse of snow and huge skies and bare trees- perfect ingredients! we barely had any of the snow down here in Dorset, just one day and it soon melted away.
