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 Swing Cat Trio
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!

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.

  1. The kitties are adorable and so much fun. Loved the post. A very nice walk in the child air does invigorate, doesn't it? Yes, you do clean-up well, making a handsome couple who must have enjoyed the evening very much.

  2. Gorgeous cat photos! Your walks look wonderful and how elegant you both look on the stairs at the exhibition. It was great to see your photos of the hat makers museum at Stockport, a place I'd like to visit one day:)

  6. What a lovely collection of photos! It was very sad to see the floods in HB again - it's a lovely little town and I've enjoyed a few nice walks from there - I always enjoy a visit.

  9. So much to enjoy in this collection of photos. Envious of the snow on the hill shot, as I sit here sweating in the 36C heat and humidity. As always loved joining you on your hikes and your cats pose so well. Enjoy the week's break.
