My BIG summer break is flying by....and not ONE stitch has been done in my workroom!
Oh My....I must do something about that.
The trouble is I am having far too much fun catching up with friends and playing out!

and one day we went for a walk in the woods locally too
Maybe not much crafting got done but just think of the happy memories you can call on during the grey days of winter! Looks like you are spending your days doing great things and crafting can so easily be done indoors when you can't get out and about so much. Stunning photos and lovely to see some public flowers that are not red, white and blue for a change!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks wonderful!! What a great life!
ReplyDeleteCrafting is for Autumn and Winter LOL!
ReplyDeleteMake the most of Summer, as long as you have some sunshine :P

Who can blame you for not doing anything crafty when you have had such splenid days out to tempt you away from home. There are some fab photos there - the waterfall in particular.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

Gosh! Busy, busy. Though it looks like you've been having a good time and visiting some great places. Lots of happy memories to store up for later days...
ReplyDeleteMy oh my you have been busy and been to some really lovely places. The museum looks like a fascinating place to go and I love the Olympic themed flower displays at the RHS show.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen a picture of a real live mink before.

Looks like you are having a wonderful summer holiday. There will be plenty opportunities to do crafty things as the autumn appears. Fantastic collection of photographs!

Powerful photos Lyn! You will have plenty of time for crafting during the next half term break (hopefully!) Make the most of days out doing fun things and meeting up with friends. It is good for the soul! x
ReplyDeleteSummer holidays are made for playing out. Ive camped by the river at Stainforth - it is gorgeous (but remind me to tell you the horrific story of the nasty side effects of the tablets I was taking at the time and the reason I had to destroy my wellington boots!!! NASTY!!!) It all looks so lovely Lyn. xxxxx

I can easily see why you haven't gotten any crafting done, so long as you will be ready to return to your classroom rested and ready to work with your students. Were I in England, I wouldn't miss crafting so much. I am glad that you traveled about and shared your adventures with us. But then you know me--can't get enough of the English countryside.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there'll be plenty of crafting done when the summer days grow into colder autumnal ones!
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn, thank you for visiting me at my blog and commenting on my lovely new addition to the family!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos of the Piece Hall and Shibden Hall - I haven't been to those places in ages but they are now on my list of places to visit! Haven't heard of Helmshore Textile Museum, is it in Yorkshire?
Was the vintage car fair you have photographed in Hebden Bridge by any chance. We had made a trip to Hard Castle Crags and saw all the vintage cars leaving as we drove past. I was really cross that we had missed it because I LOVE vintage cars = lucky you to have been there

OH, how I love to wander over here and see where you've been. Your photos are always wonderful and I feel lighter of heart once I've visited. Thank you, Lyn.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely photos ... you are doing the right thing. Getting out and about!
ReplyDeleteMargaret P
There's plenty of time to craft when its raining. What wonderful places you've visited - good to be out and about and having fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outing - thank you for taking us along !
ReplyDeleteLyn, I think you have created some beautiful artwork with your observant eye and amazing photography. And isn't the greatest creation of all the ability to enjoy life and its beauty? I hope you continue to enjoy your break before heading back to classes!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!

Like others have said, there will be plenty of time for crafting come Autumn. Enjoy the sun while you can.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to see all your photographs and all your wonderful days out. Glad to see you have had such a great summer and made the best of all the holidays.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful photography! ♥ I've just discovered your lovely blog, and am now following! So nice to "meet" you! ♥
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Anne

How could you sit at home while such great places are there to explore? With the change in the seasons there will be enough hours to spend with our beloved crafting...
