September celebrations

 We had such a lovely warm September......do you remember?

 I started to make poppies for the local church....more of that in another post.

 We had low water in the local reservoirs, this one exposing the old bridge which is usually below the water.

We attended a spectacular tightrope walk in the Piece Hall....

 

We also attended the Elland Vintage Fair....it was such a wet and grey day and it was sad because attendance was down after a sunny and busy one last year.

 Our niece and her boyfriend left for an adventure in New Zealand for a year and I baked cakes for their Bon Voyage party.

I will be back very soon with another instalment of September sunshine to light up a grey November day.

The rest of August....

Yes I am not finished with August just yet.
I am sitting here in  my workroom with the sun lighting up the trees across the valley. They are slowly turning and look ablaze and glorious. It is my last 'me' day of my Autumn half term and I am stitching poppies for our school and church Remembrance Installation.

 Way back in August the weather wasn't so kind when we went to the Oulton Park Gold Cup

 It rained heavily all day!

 The entertainment came from the 1960's

 Then we had a wedding over the Bank Holiday up in the North East

 On the way to our B&B we stopped off at Washington Old Hall

 Then we arrived at our B&B in Alnwick

 

 The wedding was lovely......

 

The next day we drove home taking the scenic route.....

 I especially loved this Sunflower Installation in the walled garden at Cragside

Then we walked around the house...

Then home and just before we slipped out of August our lovely friends came to see us and we showed them around the Piece Hall, Halifax and Bankfield Museum 

 

So that was August.....roll on September....better late than never!
