June

So here is my round up of June, I am rapidly running out of year to get my blog up to date!! Put the kettle on and let us remember the fresh beginning of summer...

Plenty of walking to be done in June. Hubby and I went to Shibden hall one Monday afternoon.

We have been inside many times but indulged in another visit. It is famously known as Ann Lister's family home.

Back in our garden and we realised we didn't do as much work on it in February as planned so now it looks a bit out of control!

A local walk up Soyland.

Trying to snap a photo of the swallows

Back home and my favourite rose is blooming

A walk up on Norland Moor...

Then a fabulous weekend staying with our friends in Lincolnshire...

A lovely walk with my brother and his wife at Pickering's Pasture where I lay down amongst the ox-eyed daisies!

Another Norland walk...It was very windy!

A visit to Towneley Hall near Burnley.

And back home the garden was full of flowers.

These three photos (above and two below) of flowers in our garden were taken at 11pm! We were getting closer to the longest day.

A great summer concert at The Piece Hall

Another local walk...

Cow Lane

Back home and lunch with Misty in the garden.

The theme for our school was 101 dalmatians at the village Carnival 

and on the longest day I got up at 3.30am and went to watch the sun rise on Blue Ball Lane.

That day was very very hot and we visited a Steam Rally in Cheshire.

The cats were feeling the heat (especially Milo) we had lots of hot weather this summer.

Lots of kaftan weather!

Brimmycroft Lane 26th June 2026

We also popped down to The Pines for the weekend too.

We had to say goodbye to my mum's old dog in June. Frankie went to live with my brother and his wife when my mum passed away and settled with them, it had been her second home and she was used to living there on and off for the past few years before my mum died, she was very happy. She's off chasing squirrels somewhere now.
