January walks and a concert

  A lovely walk locally on a sunny January Sunday. 
It's a walk we do regularly, out of the front door and up the lane behind our house.
 Through Kebroyd wood and Fiddle Wood (they actually mingle into one small wood!)
 past my favourite line of trees on the hill,
 Along the green lane towards Mill Bank

 Down the hill to the village and over the bridge,
 The sign points out that the area was once full of many small mills, most now gone or some still here but used for other purposes.



 There was also a promising sign that spring is just around the corner...

 Through the village then back down towards the main road in the valley.








There were pockets of frost where the sun hasn't reached all day...

Light lunch one Saturday in Halifax...
 I have been attending a life drawing class every month since November, I am really enjoying it, not done life drawing for over 30 years!!

Then one Saturday we went to a fabulous Northern Soul concert at Huddersfield Town Hall...








 Daisy is the most social out of our three cats....
 visitors are lucky to see the other two!
 I baked a chocolate loaf cake for Hubby to use up some eggs we had...

 Actually we had a sprinkling of snow at the end of January...it didn't last the morning!


One particularly grey and misty day we went for a walk between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden.
 Up Jumble Hole Road.....
 Then up past the ruins of an old mill...



 the road carries on then disappears....
 after we pass a very small church yard, the church long gone....

 It turns into a track leading past a small row of stone cottages.....
 Stoodley \Pike in the distance...

 joins the Pennine way and drops down a cobbled path
 and back to the valley bottom.



 a walk near to home one evening when really I just wanted to stay at home and read my book!
