been busy

Its been a busy autumn and with the snow last week it made me realise it was winter already.

 Here are some random photos, a lot from my Instagram feed, that sums up our autumn.

Halifax Market

 Our village Michaelmas show was held in the middle of September.

 No best in show for me this year but a gold and a silver gilt and a couple of silvers.

a silver for my hare.

 I made this little Kittie cat for a friends daughter who was 3 years old.

I also attended 4 evening workshops at Oldham Gallery and really enjoyed making my own etching.

Not got a photo of my finished etching will have to post one another time.

 We also went to the Hepworth in Wakefield to see the Stanley Spencer exhibition

 our first plums and we had lots of lovely baking and jam making.

 we went for a walk locally

We once rented the cottage attached to this farm house (the cottage is on the left)

 The view from the top of the garden has been changing

 our box bushes went in to the garden terrace

 I was full of a cold and had a comforting afternoon watching 'A matter of life and death' with David Niven

 I bought these two adorable kitties at a craft fair

flowers for our 20th wedding anniversary

self portraits by the reception children

Wedding anniversary flowers from Hubby

I also attended not one by three workshops at Hope and Elvis in October....more of those later!
