Festivals, workshops, Open Gardens, exhibitions and a wedding

 End of July and beginning of August saw us very busy.....

 We attended The Windrush Festival in Preston...beautiful sunny day with great music and company.


 One of my favourite bits was the 1960's West Indian living room....




On the way home I snapped this war memorial from the car...


Flowers from Hubby

 I did some work at home in the garden instead of staying late at school to do it....much more civilised!
I popped to Touchstones for my third and final workshop.....Gelli Printing
 Loved it!




 We managed a few meals in the garden too...

Mini Rainbow




 We looked around the Open Gardens of Hebden Bridge....








 We even popped into the Artist Kate Lycett's studio.....






 I went with Class five to Blackpool Pleasure Beach....I stayed with the coats and bags while the children went on the rides!!

 We had our school summer fair....

 and visited the Rochdale Car Show






Cake for the adults from a parent!







 and we reached the end of term......phew!




I made lemon cake....
We went to my cousins wedding......

 and I had a lovely day with friends in Manchester eating, drinking cocktails and looking at art exhibitions....








So we reach the end of July and I spent the first two weeks of August away ( more about that in future posts) I still have three WHOLE weeks left before I go back to work and I have plans.....lots of plans!

  4. Such lovely photos. I love the 1960's living room. I remember many houses with a china cabinet identical to the one in the room and I think my family had a settee just like the one above only with orange seats! x

  5. Busy times. Just wonderful. I love how your 'artistic eye' frames these images.
    Enjoy your remaining 3 weeks of holidays. As an x teacher, I had to laugh when you wrote I have 'l have plans. Lots of plans.' Good luck fitting them all in. I never managed too.
