Time Out

Just bobbing into the Attic to give you a wave and say ((Cooo-eeee)) and (Hellloooooo)) !!

Ahh life is busy-buys-busy right now and I'm enjoying it for the most part.

These pictures were taken on Friday, which was officially a Time Out kind of a day.

Time out of the house, time away from the perils of Extreme Nesting, time out in the open air with the one I Love.

J had taken the day off work, and we enjoyed a beautiful morning walk together through damp woodland at Bolton Abbey.

Talked and laughed, ambled and strolled. 

He even very kindly pushed me all the way up the hill :: a little humiliating but entirely necessary.

We laughed at that.

After all that exertion and nature and scenery and chatter and laughter, we drove to a picturesque village pub in the Yorkshire Dales to eat a most scrumptious lunch together in front of a roaring log fire.

Then back down to our town to stroll the market and have a quick cup of coffee in a dinky little Italian cafe before collecting the Little People from school.

It was a lovely way to spend the day....Time Out is most definitely a very, very Good Thing.

 

So yeah...back at home today on my tod, climbing the rather treacherous and dauntingly high Clutter-Mountain here at Attic24.

Am pleased to say I have at last left Base Camp.

Still in the Foothills, and still got a looooooong way to go till I get to the Summit, but I am making progress.

And progress is a Good Thing.

I just love reading your posts. The crafty ones and just the simple, chatty ones about your walks in the woods, etc. I'm glad I found you. BTW, I lived in England as a tiny child, 1-5 years old, so reading your blog evokes some very deep-seated memories for me. Thank you.

This entry made me :-)

Nothing like a lovely "time out" with the one you love. Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos.

What lovely beech leaves! They are so beautiful the way they grow in horizontal layers. I think it is my favourite tree. I remember being helpfully pushed up hills in Dorset with my big bump last September!
