A day out in Wensleydale.

I had a wonderful day out in the Yorkshire dales today. We passed through Ingleborough and on through Wensleydale to the market towns of Hawes and Leyburn. On our return we stopped at the Ribblehead Viaduct for lunch and a quick walk for Poppy as it had started to rain again. Ribblehead is an area of dramatic moorland with the viaduct being an engineering marvel a must see if you are ever up in Yorkshire.

It was wonderful to get out for the day. It is the first time I have left mum on her own all day but with emergency plans in place I was able to get some fresh air at long last.

I've listed some more French vintage fabric today, have a look at these - - 

YORKSHIRE DALES

We had a lovely day out at Hawes yesterday. Hawes is a wonderful market town in upper Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. We visited the Wensleydale Cheese production centre and the Dales Countryside Museum which told the whole history of the area. The best bit of the museum was at the end where you board a steam train and walk through years of history with artefacts from the beginning of the twentieth century. There were lots of old items for children to play with and even a basket of rags on the floor so that you could try your hand at rag rug making. The weather was glorious and we found a wonderful pub where we sat out in the garden which was surrounded with old stone walling, beautiful flowers and old pieces from the past like an old butchers bicycle, milk churns etc. Over the stone wall was the most spectacular view of the hills.

Now back to work. Lots of orders to get ready for posting.

A basket full of embellishments ready and waiting to be processed.
