Been around....

Well folks, I've been busy gadding about recently, It's been so long since I've posted on here, sorry about that, I have somewhat neglected things on the blog. Here are some of the places I've been, you may have seen them before as they are favourite haunts!
suspension bridge near Hebden (Dales)

River twixt Hebden and Burnsall.

The little school at Burnsall, viewed through the churchyard, so cute!

 Next few photos are around York, a place I love, so much still to discover :) The Minster is just spectacular, I had meant to try the camera on some close up shots of the gargoyles etc, but my camera battery ran out, next time I will get some.
Walking the wall that surrounds York, you get to see some very different scenes, into peoples gardens etc, quite fascinating!

York wall, can you see the schoolchildren to the left below? :)

Lovely gardens!!

Popping out of the wall, we found this by accident really, but it's quite amazing how these things still remain, just wonderful.

Now to my next location, near Harrogate, a walk around Swinsty reservoir. I don't have photos of the start of this walk, the bit where I moaned a lot, as the path was a stream or bog, I can be a pain when things are tricky! I like nice easy walks, yes we can go uphill, that's OK, but not boggy, thats yuk.

Sun on the water.
 Best bit of the walk coming next, Tea Room at Bettys, Harlow Carr, Hooray. Nice Fat rascal for late lunch, totally yummy :)
Gorgeous Easter display window.

Yummy menu.

Burst of bright floral sunshine, had to take some home.

Latest piece of work, done in various ways, stamping, pastel, drawing, painting and finally photoshop! Yea.
Hope you like my little rambles? In between I have been busy working. The major book project keeps coming back, but I don't think I can do it? It's been difficult to say no.
See you all again before too long :) I do keep following you peeps out there.
