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.

That sounds absolutely wonderful. My husband and I were just talking the other day about the last time we had any fun together...and couldn't remember...it's been that long.

I live in London, but come from Burnley. I've been to Bolton Abbey many times and love it as much as you do. Wonderful blog!

[Alison Hutchison]

Time out is definately a Good Thing. Enjoy the rest of your week x

Have been thinking of spending a day like this with my Husband but keep letting life get in the way! Thanks for making it all look so tempting - I'm going to ring him and book a day out together now!

Hello Lucy,
I'm sooo glad to have found your wonderful blog! I'd love to try all your beautiful patterns! They're so sweet and you must also have the most beautiful house in England with all those decorations you've made!

[Josette]

Oh what a nice day with your "LOve". I totally need a day with my husband. I might just have to plan one!

[Kim]

aw i love autumn and leaves! I had a mad moment this morning and went out in the garden in my dressing gown and wellies to sweep leaves!!

[Susan]

Oh how lovely! What lovely leafy photos, sounds quite magically perfect!
Thanks for this, we keep meaning to and then it never quite happens....Maybe this will spur my ''him'' on to agree a time and place?
Take care

[Emma]

what nice photos! Walks always do good! Some fresh air :D

Haven't have time to comment on your blog for some days, so busy!
But still taking time to read it, puts me in such good mood after a long day!

Take care, you and Bump!

[Elaine/MuddlingThrough]

Time with your Sweetie is always a good thing. Your scenery is beautiful!

Sounds like a lovely day! I hope you're enjoying lots of time out days before bump24 comes along. I love your description of clutter mountain!

A misty gray day is a wonderful time to capture rich outdoor colors. We visited Giverny, Monet's home, on a day when it was pouring. I don't regret it at all! The flowers glowed! Beth

What a lovely lovely place! You sound like you had a really nice relaxing time - a good thing to take a moment or too out of a very busy life. It restores your batteries and all that. Thanks for taking your camera with, so we get to have a look. (I've got a thing about trees - love them). Hope all your 'stuff' is coming along nicely. Don't forget to put your feet up sometimes though!

[Jackie]

Lucy ~ It sound like you had the perfect day out. I love the photo's and I love the fact that you had to be pushed all the way up the hill, it made me laugh too! It is so good to spend some time with the one you love ~ it is definitely something we should all do more often.

My Watery Ripple Scarf is having it's very own BiG Moment on my blog today. Thanks so much again for all your wonderful inspiration and lovely patterns that you very kindly share with us all.

I'm also glad to hear that you are making progress but please try and take the time out to put your feet up for a little rest and perhaps find some time for some tea and cake too! :O)

[Sofisan]

oh, I compleatly agree with u! I love too take thouse walks with my man and look at nature and chat and laugh. BUT, oh my, I got so jealous when u got to the little italian cafe! I don't have anything like a latte for less than an hours drive away.

[paula]

Such a beautiful place.

[Carole]

What a lovely day Lucy, that is the best sort. I, too, am trundling through a mountain!! And i`ve got a friend coming for lunch so i`d better get cracking.

Love Carole from Rossendale xxxxxxxx
