With anyone else but me.
Anyone else but me...no...no....no!
I'll be with you in apple blossom time
It's that time of year again.
Haworth 1940's weekend.
I have the dress....(yes dress!) shoes, beret and seamed stockings ready.
Then on Sunday friends round for a Jubilee party! busy, busy, busy.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Last weekend we were out and about.
After spending most of the day tidying the house, we took a well earned break mid afternoon to go for a walk to a local wood.
Rough Hey Wood has the most wonderful, spectacular display of bluebells at this time of year
and we were not disappointed. We walked over the bridge and into the wood.
A path climbs steadily up to our right.
There is a lovely lime green glow at this time of year with the fresh new leaves on the trees.
As we turn the corner and walk along the lane we can see the bluebells glowing in the sunlight.
You can smell them as the air is filled with their scent.
They have taken up most of a small field that has fewer trees than deeper in the wood.
We walk down to the weir
where the air is much cooler
There was lots of wild garlic near the river.
Then we walked back down the lane with one last look at the bluebells
And headed for home.
On Sunday we drove to Ripley to visit the Old Farmyard.
We have been at this time of year for the past few years. Here is last years and here is 2010's visit and here is 2009's visit!
It is a lovely place to visit. If you are ever in the area please drop in and visit.
This is Timothy a pet lamb, who just wandered around the yard taking interest in the goings on.
the piglets escaped and I had a cuddle or two!
I patted some freshly made butter and brought some home.
And we were lucky enough to be able to help feed the lambs before we left.
Later we had a walk around the village
and an ice cream!
So what have you been up to this week?
anything exciting?
I did some more in the garden on the days when it was still fine when I got home from work.
But there was some days when the rain just didn't stop.
One morning as I drove to work I noticed the wind had blown all the blossom off the trees in the village, the pathway was pink.
I had to take Lucy to the Vets on Wednesday evening. She has always been feisty with other cats and just about put up with Bob but can not tolerate other cats. But she seems to of grown old these past 6 months and as before she would chase another cat out of the garden these days she is being bullied by a local cat.
She is old and skinny and she started to lick patch's of fur off her side. We now keep her indoors unless we are out in the garden, she doesn't mind as she had stopped going out as much anyway. Poor baby she does look like a ragamuffin!!
On Friday I went out for tea with my mum...I have to show you the desserts we had....
This week I also managed a bit of sewing
