still waiting......

Yes we are still waiting and now it is December.

 Back in November we went to the Shibden Hall Craft Fair 

 A lovely hot chocolate and cake from the pink campervan called Lulabelle!

I have to say it wasn't as busy as last year, and not as many stalls but what was there was very good.

One wet, dull day Hubby and I went for a walk from Delph in Saddleworth.

 Hubby grew up there and even now the locals think themselves Yorkshire although since 1974 it has come under Oldham and so in Lancashire.

 We walked up the footpath along the valley. Past a still working small woollen mill (another reason they say hear-about, that they belong in Yorkshire)

 Looking back along the misty valley where we had just walked.

 And back to Delph via the main road

 In the greenhouse at home my poor neglected olive tree has fruit....just one!

 And some of my chrysanthemums have done OK

 We had snow one night and the drive to work was lovely. It was just enough to give a light dusting without causing traffic chaos!

 But the sky was so blue!

 The Police and their dogs came to give a talk at school...this puppy was coming home with me, he was so cute!

And so Christmas has arrived and so the fun begins......if only the OFSTED visit was over and done with we might be able to enjoy it!
