I didn't tell you about Easter!

The Easter Bonnets at school

It seems such a long time ago but I am going to tell you about our Easter anyway!

I did an Easter Afternoon Tea for my family....I baked and baked the day before!
The vintage china came out too.

We went to visit my mother in law in Shropshire for a couple of days

 We visited Stokesay Castle a fortified Manor House built in the late 13th century.

The solar

The Great Hall

We popped into the church

The next day it was raining....all day!

We called in at Powis Castle on the way home, I didn't take many photos, it was to wet outside and you are not allowed to take photos inside.
So that was the Easter Weekend.

step back again!

I said at the end of my last post it wasn't the first time we had stepped back in time this year.

 Way back in April Hubby and I drove up to the Yorkshire Dales

 We stopped off at Linton-in Craven on the way to Appletreewick

In the tiny hamlet of Appletreewick one of the pubs, The Craven Arms holds a 1940's fete and all money raised goes to the Royal British Legion 

It was very well attended and we recognised some of the people that go to Haworth every year.

The Craven Arms was too packed to get any lunch so we popped along to The New Inn down the road!

 I just couldn't resist asking this group if I could take their photos, it really looked like I had gone back in time in the Craven Arms!

 Then in early May my mum and I had a trip to Liverpool one evening.

To watch a free 'show' the weather was fine and we arrived in plenty of time.

 Children from local schools had made the lanterns....we'll come back to them later.

 There was a short delay as the organisers were waiting for it to go a little darker before beginning.

The story of the May Blitz on Liverpool told through sound, film and mime...it was both moving and spectacular. We loved it. 

The film lasted about 15 minutes and we watched it twice.

(The above video went on twice and I couldn't delete it!)

So thank you for stepping back in time with me.
