I am afraid June wasn't what we hoped weather wise. After we were spoiled rotten with gorgeous weather in the spring...June was a bit Blahhh.
Lots of days grey, misty and wet.
of course not every day was like that. We did have had a few sunny days.
On one of those days we went for a walk on the lanes above Hebden Bridge.
and I did manage a few days in the garden.
I have been busy at school too......
Woodland walks to make tree faces....
Walks along the lanes near school, we are lucky enough to be able to stay away from the main roads and meet no one on our little walks....
S'mores on the playing field and nature walks to spot wild flowers, trees and wild life...
And making monsters....
This appeared on the main road near to the village I live in....
And we treated ourselves to a cream tea in the garden one day.
and I can not lie we also managed a few barbecues in the garden in June.
But on the day I met my best friend for a much overdue socially distanced walk and catch up.....it rained.....and rained!
It didn't matter, we had a lovely afternoon.
So that was June....
We are already in July. Tomorrow more things will be opening up after lock-down. We are all still being very careful and keeping our distance but it does feel like most things are slowly getting back to some sort of normality. As I missed out on three workshops because of the pandemic I treated myself to an online course. A Garden Sketchbook with Helen Hallows. I am already behind (readers of my blog won't be surprised by this!) I am sure I will do a blog or two about it, it lasts a month....I had better get on, I have a cat portrait to finish before I can play with my sketchbook!
