No visit to Harrogate is complete without dropping in at Betty’s Tea Rooms. The queues to get in were considerable. Had it not been for one of the hottest days of the year and most people staying away from the town to go to the seaside or bask in the sun, the queues would’ve been […]
Nidd Hall
This is Nidd Hall, one of the Warner Leisure Hotel chains for adults only, converted stately homes with meals and entertainment laid on plus gym/spa facilities and beauty treatments too, if you wished to take advantage of it. It was our “home” while we were away. This time last week, we were still there having […]
Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge # 28 Sketch Challenge
This fortnight’s challenge is a sketch challenge using the sketch above. The side twist was to use retiring Stampin’ Up! colours. Here’s my card. I used Sage Green, Blush Blossom and Almost Amethyst all from the Soft Subtles family. I’m really sad that these three are going as I love these pastel shades. I used […]
Nursery Necessities, Fox & Friends

I then cut the flower out leaving a tiny white border. […]
TGI Friday’s
I must thank all my Technique Club ladies for allowing me to change the date for the club meeting so I could spend our grandson’s birthday with him in Leeds. We took him to TGI Friday’s and as you can see, he got quite shy at all the fuss made over him. In true TGI […]
A day at the farm
I’ve had a lovely break and just had to show you some of the highlights whilst we were away. Kids Only – so grandpa had to just content himself with watching! This giant slide was one of the many kiddies’ attractions. The farm even had mini tractors, swings, slides, touch and feel areas, a teaching […]
