What a week!

Hello all.

I'm not sure I know where to start, I've got so much to show you!

First things first though. Thank you for the birthday wishes, I had a lovely day. My parents came to stay for a couple of days which made it extra special.

Dad helped me finish off my flat pack furniture although I think I was more of a hindrance to him, teehee. I better own up and tell you how I wrongly marked all of the handle positions on the wardrobe doors so we had to lay each one on the floor and do them all again, oops!

I am so pleased with them, I have a proper grown-up bedroom at last. Wonderful Man says I've got no excuse not to keep it tidy now. Hmmmm... I'm thinking those glass doors need something pretty and lacy behind them to hide the junk.
(No that's not a miniature bedroom door. The wardrobes really are that big, 236cm high!)

Wheeeeeeee! We're on our way through the Dales now to Grassington for a little birthday jaunt. There was hardly any water in the stream that runs along next to the road, it was unusually dry. (It's been so dry here that they've had to pospone the village duck race twice as there isn't enough water to wash the ducks down the river! Don't laugh, it's a very important event in the village calendar. lol!)

Pretty isn't it? This is market square in Grassington.

Plenty of little ginnels

and pretty cottages.

This is the local hardware shop. Easier on the eye than most hardware shops don't you think!

There was also some beautiful gift shops, one called 'The Rustic Rabbit' and another called 'Harlequin'. LOVELY!!!! So why aren't I showing pictures of them? Because I'm a bad blogger and in my excitement I forgot to take photos. Sorry... I'll consider the back of my leg slapped and I promise to try harder next time ; )

Back home again and Thursday afternoon is our 'Not Just Knitting' group. I decided to call it that as 'knit and natter' might sound a little restrictive. Anyway we hold it in the village Meeting Room in the Market Hall once a week and all are welcome.

Anyones is welcome to come and join us for the afternoon.

I think there was much more nattering than 'knitting' but I did manage to finish off some more crochet bunting.

WHOOOHOO!

The weekend finally arrived and time for my birthday treat from Wonderful Man.

A weekend away in...

Can you guess?

This adventurous (a little clue) looking chap spent about 3 years here learning his navigational skills (another little clue).

WHITBY!

Wow! What a lovely weekend we had. Lots to share!

I've got a scrummy wool shop and a fantastic fabric shop to show you!

Oh the joy!
I can hardly wait!

Till next time

P.S. it was Captain Cook. (hmmmm.... maybe I should have shown you a picture of Dracula instead!)
