Summer.......Remember?
before our holiday in Cornwall, we had some lovely days out doing and seeing things....over the next few posts and as the leaves turn on the trees I will look back and show you what we got up to.
Back in July we went to Liverpool where they were celebrating all things vintage at Vintage on the Dock.
As you can see, when we arrived it was quite a pleasant sunny day.

| CAKE! |
Then as we were watching the classic car cavalcade the clouds blew in off the Mersey and...
and within minutes torrential rain and the crowds disappeared and we had to wear our free ponchos from Heart FM who minutes earlier were giving out ice lollies!
My mum, hubby and I also called it a day and went back to the car....dripping wet!
That's the British summer for you!

You can't leave washing or ironing around in our house these days!
We also went to Brodsworth Hall, an English Heritage house and garden, and we caught a brass band playing in the grounds.
A few other things....
a trip to the cinema.....
A Spitfire fly past over our garden.....
A trip to Touchstones .....
A lovely evening watching our God Daughters dance show.....
And I put on my pinny to help at our school Summer Fair
The kittens are growing so fast!
Leavers Service at Church
A trip to Halifax
I took an inset day at school and taught the staff how to do lino cuts
They did very well!
That folks.....was July!

Fabulous pho9tos - you certainly seemed to fill your month! Those kittys are so lovely - maybe I do want another myself although I have said not. Liverpool - somewhere I have been meaning to return to for years not having visited since I was a child - must put it on my to do list! Lino cuts - how I wish I could have come I have the kit and not done anything with it yet. Beautiful beautiful photos as always. Thanks for sharing July with us.

That is one photo heavy post, and yet I'm not sure which ones you could leave out?
ReplyDeleteI just have to shout it.... Liverpool rocks as a city! (yes, I am biased!)
This is such a bad idea!! Now I'm wishing my time away as I'm not a fan of winter! Gorgeous summer photos as ever! I'm not far from Brodsworth - you should have shouted up! xxx
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the stunning blue sky and white roses.
ReplyDeleteI remember learning to do lino cuts at teaches college, many, many years ago. Having always taught in the lower primary I never actually got to use the skill. Potato prints - yes.
