As I sit nearing the end of my summer holiday from school, September lurks just around the corner. I always get a little fed up at this time of year. I know I am incredibly lucky to have six weeks off work (I do feel we earn it though, working in a school is a pressured job with little monetary reward especially for support school staff!)
So I will show you a little of what we have been up to after our delightful holiday at the end of July, beginning of August.....seems a long time ago already!

First we were glad to be home with our three cats, Milo, Misty and Daisy.
We had a few days in the garden...
We visited The Hebden Bridge Vintage Car show
As you can see I got rather taken with the car decoration!
We got the train to Hebden Bridge and back, It is always a bit difficult parking at Hebden when there is an event on.
All fruit from our garden....
Made into a fruit crumble.
More days in the garden with the cats.
The Hydrangea has done so well this year, I need to dry some for an up coming wedding!
I needed to take my car to nearby Huddersfield for it's service so I had a morning mooching around there.
The library and Art Gallery...
The Flea market was on too...
We had a lovely day at the Halifax Agricultural Show....the weather was warm but showery.
Back home we have had mixed results in our own home produce this year.
The cucamelons, potatoes, strawberries, runner beans, plums, chilli and courgettes have done really well.....tomatoes were shocking. The three gooseberry bushes were eaten by caterpillars and two of the three raspberry bushes died!
my friend and I went for a walk in Saddleworth then a lovely lunch at The Lime Kiln in Uppermill
Still lots to show you from summer.....just before we slip into autumn.
That is our library! Not sure if anyone listed it but there was talk of it being demolished - I hope not.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures sumarising your summer - I would never have thought to go to Hebden by train - but will be doing now as it is hard to park there.
I love this post - It's truly all the best of summer, with the daytrips, fairs, spending time outside in the beautiful garden with the cats, and enjoying the fruits of summer too. What fun!! And I have to ask, did you have your fortune read? I think I would have, just for fun!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking "us" along!
Loved all your pictures Lyn. Hope the new school year is going smoothly.
