So I quite easily slipped into Lady of Leisure mode at the start of the Easter Holidays.
My lovely friend Shan came to stay for a few days.
I met her off the train in Hebden Bridge
We popped into the Blitz Cafe for our lunch.
Then walked around the town a while.
Then we drove over to Bankfield Museum in Halifax.
One of my favourite places to visit.
Pirates! is a great exhibition collecting together objects from the museum and some fantastic artwork by Chris Mould from his children's book Pirates and Pistols.
Then home for a nice cup of tea.
Saturday and we were off to do a full day on a workbook workshop with Anne Brooke in Brighouse.
I had decided to make a feather stamp
First I did some paintings of feathers then simplified them ready to cut the deign onto the large eraser.
Then the next day after a lazy morning we took Shan to the station to catch her train home.
It was a bit of a cold day but Hubby and I went for a stroll around Heptonstall above Hebden Bridge anyway.
And we were still only one week into the holiday......next post a birthday and Easter walk.
So we are half way through April.
What have we been up to so far?
There was a trip to Halifax.....just usual shopping and mooching really.
I did a post about the buildings in Halifax here in February 2013.

I do love Halifax, it is great for shopping and the buildings are wonderful if you just look above the shop fronts.
I ordered my reading glasses.
Hubby and I attended some dear friends 25th Wedding Anniversary party.
we did Easter crafts at school before we finished for the Easter break.
We have had some lovely mild weather....honest!
While I have been off work I have spent a few hours taking a few photos of the garden and local sites.
The village is getting ready to welcome the Tour de France, Grand Depart coming through on the 6th July
My old apple tree had one of its limbs removed in the hope we can save it.
In fact we had lots of trees in the garden cut back, it is so much lighter now. We have a dream for the garden but it involves a lot of money and effort....we have neither at the moment!
April continues on the next blog post, when my lovely friend Shan came to stay and I had a birthday....to be continued.
