Walk and Weft

Saturday 28th September 2019. I had a lovely experience and lots of pleasure at Yarndale Festival on Saturday. I enjoyed gazing over all the retailers' stalls packed full with delightful goodies.  I just had to take a photo of the huge collection of teddy bears that was a display in the entrance to the show.  I have never seen so many colourful Teds in one place.               

SUNDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2019. Visiting the MEGGER STONES of DENTDALE, CUMBRIA to explore them and DALESFOLK FROM THE PAST. Our walk began from Dent`s main pay and display car park (with toilets).

Sunday 25th August 2019.  It was August Bank Holiday with glorious weather. Thinking that the motorway to the Lake District would just be so busy with traffic, we decided to head to Haworth Moors (we are very fortunate in that we live only 20 miles from Haworth) where it would be a lot more quieter to enjoy our walk. Daniel always plans and plots our walks before we set off, so that we know where to park, how many miles the walk will be and an estimate of the time it will take. At this time of year the moors...
