The last sun of November.

Beware - lots of photos!!

Today the sun shone, I couldn't stay indoors!!!

So I dragged persuaded the family out for a walk.

We headed for a small village nearby.

I took many walks in this village as a child with my Grandma and it was lovely reminiscing.

We forgot the bread for the duck. . . . . .

We passed 'The chair works', which was always busy as a child but now lies empty

The hustle and bustle of the village I remember as a child is all gone. We didn't see many people even though it was a beautiful day. Maybe we'll head back in the summer . . . . 

Planning. . . .

Ooh I'm really mad!

Just when you feel you are making progress, you realise you haven't followed the plans!!

Yes the plans where in my head but I was occasionally looking at a picture on the Internet.

But I've gone too far and cannot go back. . . . 

All the windows are ready to go in. . . .

Will Peppa Pig realise the door is on the wrong side of the house?

Will my Niece realise Peppas door is in the wrong place?

Ooh that's enough for today, I'm not fitting any more windows. . . 

P.S Do you think it matters?

I think I need another cup of tea!

Annual Pilgrimage

So this weekend we had our annual trip to Harrogate. The car was full of people, food and lots of chatter, so the journey didn't feel too long.

Although I took my camera, this years photos are courtesy of my Daughter who was snapping away all day (some quite random shots . . . )

Lots to see, lots to buy, lots and lots of people!!!

I don't currently have 'A project' in mind so I came home with several random fat quarters of fabric, with no idea what I'm making. 

This morning I've woken up full of a cold, so I'm heading for the sofa with a cup of tea. 

Lets not think about school.

Keeping busy. . . . 

Enjoy the 'beach side'. . . .

Look for treasure . . . . 

Don't mention school. . . 

We have attempted to tackle the 'school' issues this week. We've  had meetings with school and put into place some 'plans'. We've also borrowed and bought loads of books about 'anxiety issues'. 

So wish us luck for this week.

P.S. Maybe soon I'll do some sewing. . . . 

Breathing space. . . .

The start of the new term has not been without problems. Before the half term holidays my little boy was very reluctant to go to school. 

We put in down to being ready for a break and hoped the holidays would help.

But it didn't.

We've spent the weekend trying to fill his time and take his mind of monday.

On Saturday we headed out to Towneley Park in Burnley.

We almost had the place to ourselves.

The children attempted to kick the leaves at each other and listening to them laughing gives me hope that the tears we have before, during and after school won't last forever.

And lastly, I never knew fireworks where so hard to photograph? 

 I had loads of photos of plain black sky, maybe next year!!!

Just popping in. . . . .

Back to school. . . . 

Wishing it was still half term. . . . 

Counting the days until weekend. . . . 

I definitely need another cup of tea. . . . . 

Still knitting. . . . .
