Good morning tis Friday time for
so this is the second half of the week we had away (that I didn't document fully last week) because as suspected the weekend was very much a rest and relaxation (and washing).
So we had a day out in Skipton, I've never been so it was lovely to explore and it is such a pretty town. We had a good wander around the castle
I loved the inner courtyard and the tree that was planted when the square was created making the tree 361 years old
It is a male yew tree and really is stunning
It reminded me of a square in foreign lands if truth be told
Then we went in the church next door, I loved this stained glass window
then we had a picnic by the boats

The day after we went to Mother Shipton's cave
The trees with the coins amused

This was my favourite sculpture
The petrifying well turning everything into stone
The wishing well where we made a wish or two
The cave where Mother Shipton was born
The museum (and the main reason for visiting) was to see Mister Finch's items
Final day and we headed to Haworth to the Bronte Parsonage
Charlotte Bronte's wedding bonnet
then popped off to see the Panopticon on the way (unfortunately the central sphere had been damaged by vandals and wasn't there so we didn't get the full experience).
Then Pendle Heritage Centre, the most interesting part being linked with the Pendle Witch trials.
and before we knew it we had finished our week and were heading home.
The weekend as suspected was quiet and busy with washing.
We caught up with said 21 year old and his fiancee on Friday and my Mum and my sister.
Saturday we were washing washing washing all day and then went out to see How to be a Better Human, it was very good but made me very sad as it is about grief and loss, we went with my Mum and hubby.
Sunday we decided to help my Mum with her garden, which meant a large number of hours cutting grass and the privet hedge which was growing out of hand as well as getting rid of some of the ivy that was matting itself on the ground we recovered a fair amount of pavement.
The rest of the week has been about getting back in the grove with work.
I hope you've had a grand week.
