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.

Good for you for getting away for the day! That looks like a lovely place to hike and take a bit of a break.

Lovely photos!

Ah Lucy, you've got a good man there, taking the day off to be with you in the woods!

Your beautiful photos of those trees remind me to let you know that I have been to see, at the Pace Wildenstein Gallery on 57 St and 25 St, the concurrent exhibits of David Hockney's drawings and paintings done in the Yorkshire woods over the past few years.

I have always admired DH's drawing and printmaking, and some of his paintings. There are many paintings these exhibits that truly do make the visitor get a clue of what it might just be to be in those woods. Just like your posts.

Lucy, how can I send you pics of a wonderful shell garland that I saw at a beach house in New Zealand? I think you would love the painted and colorful nature of the children's work.

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!

[Louise]

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.

This entry made me :-)

[Laura Lee]

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.

[marigold jam]

Sounds like a great day out together for you both. Enjoy time together on your own whilst you can!

What a wonderful day, it sounds absolutely brilliant, especially with the roaring fire. I could use one now, it's freezing here.Great job getting up mt. clutter, hope you reach the top soon.
