Slow down.... you move too fast!

I seem to have missed something......April!  There has been so much going on here I can't believe that it's now May.
Hubby finally got his early retirement and so we thought we'd go away for a few days. But first we travelled down to Wiltshire to see our daughter and family. Hopefully they'll be coming up to spend a few days with us soon. Then we went off to York for a midweek break. We even managed a day in Whitby....

......I got to try out my new camera, which I'd had for my birthday........

........maybe one day I'll get a perfect shot......

.....but I'm in no hurry, I just love  experimenting ( playing), just to see what it can do.

As the weather is now warming up (well, almost) it's nice to get into the garden.....

.....there's been a lot more growing since I took this shot last week, and Mick's repainted all the fencing. I did keep the tea and cake coming whilst he was doing it! The next step is to do a spot of reorganising in it. But that will be an ongoing project throughout the year.

Last Thursday we went up to Ilam Hall, from there we walked to Milldale  stopped for our packed lunch and tea and then back through Dovedale and back to Ilam.  It was a glorious day....

..... far too nice to be at home doing housework......

...... this little chap came to see what we were up to......

....no, I think he was looking to see if we had anything to eat. Sorry, it's all gone!

Oh well, I'll save you some, next time we're there!
