Sunshine and Pimms

Yes we had sunshine this summer.


The Swan Hotel, Newby Bridge

A summer that had lots of rain early on and we thought the sun would not be putting in an appearance this year....but it has.

Fell Foot Park

We have been lucky. It came out to play when we went to stay in the Lakes one weekend.

And it also made an appearance when we walked on Ilkley Moor last weekend.

Manor House Museum, Ilkley

First we walked around Ilkley.

And what a lovely place it is.

Then we drove up to the Cow and Calf Rocks.

Yes we have been lucky.

the days just fly by

My BIG summer break is flying by....and not ONE stitch has been done in my workroom!

Oh My....I must do something about that.

The trouble is I am having far too much fun catching up with friends and playing out!

I forgot to show you some photos from the RHS Flower show at Tatton.

Then one day I met friends and we went for a walk around Halifax Piece Hall and Shibden Park.

Then I met up with Shan and we went to Helmshore Textile Museum.

The visit of course involved cake!

One weekend Hubby and I went to Settle and walked up the river to Stainforth

A mink

Then there was a visit to the Hebden Bridge Vintage Rally

and one day we went for a walk in the woods locally too

So you can see why I have nothing crafty done!
