and so that was February!

Yes February came and went, and I have neglected to do a regular post.

 In the half term I managed to pop over to Bankfield Museum to look at the Kate Lycett exhibition.

After a lovely open evening, it was nice to actually get up close to the paintings and really study them.

 It was lovely to walk around the grounds too.

Hubby and I also met up with our lovely friends, Diane from Heartshaped and her hubby.

 It started with a hearty breakfast at the Oil Can Cafe.

 Then a tour of the Classic Car Garage 

 Then a little wander around Holmfirth

 We managed a meal out for Valentines 

 I tried to do some Art Journal....but the kitties like my light too much and use it to sunbathe!

So February is over in a few hours ( I still have some things to show you from February but I've run out of steam!)
February also marks my Blogs Blogiversary! 7 years done! I do love my neglected blog!

And I have been reading a lot lately!
I'll be back soon.

and so to February

February has arrived, there is a slight hint of spring but i am afraid it is still mainly dull and grey.

 We had a cold walk up to the dam

My craft group help me make this alter cloth for our school services and we had the Welsh Birds of Prey in school.

Snow covered hills

Hubby and I were lucky enough to get an invite to Kate Lycett's open for her new exhibition...we scrubbed up well! She had asked if everyone could attend in 1930's evening dress, and of course we were most happy to oblige!

The photo which inspired Kate to get everyone dressed up!

It is a wonderful exhibition and well worth a visit ( I plan to go back as there were so many people there we didn't get much of a chance to look closely at her fabulous paintings.)

I went to The Hat Works Museum in Stockport with class 2 at the end of January.

The children made felt.

Half term has arrived and I have to say I am ready for it. Let's just say work is a bit stressful at the moment and I am glad I have got a week off and I plan to forget all about it!

a note in a shop window in Hebden Bridge

We went for a walk at the start of February. We started in Hebden Bridge, poor Hebden Bridge....hit by terrible floods on Boxing day and trying desperately to get back on it's feet. 

We walked up the hill towards the Pennine way.

On the lane is the small church yard that once belonged to Mount Olivet Chapel, now long gone. 

Then we walked down to Cow Bridge 

Then back down the lane.

 We also went to see the new Star Wars movie.

I enjoyed it.

We have had some lovely sunrises and sunsets recently.

The cats are now 10 months old and give us lots of laughs!

My nephew turned 21 too, we had a family get together.

 On a wet Sunday we found a museum to visit

The Three Musketeers 

They are growing so fast.
