Poppy in field

School’s out for summer and,
displaying my Cooper genes, I whisked the kids away 20mins after school
finished.
Holidays should never be wasted!

| Lots of poppies |
We had a glorious week in the North York Moors, with R joining us as
weekends, finishing up staying at the in-laws elsewhere in Yorkshire for the
start of the Tour de France.

I took lots of ‘inspiration’ photos
as you can see. I also really enjoyed
spending a few minutes browsing charity bookshops – we don’t have any
here and it is rare I have time when I do go to places with shops just to browse. R found an old guidebook for a
museum in Greece, which had some lovely, exciting images for me.

This week has been spent juggling
spending time with the children and finishing quilts off to send away for
exhibitions. I’m really relieved to have
finished sewing on the sleeves.
Definitely my least favourite part of the process. But I am pleased they are properly finished and
in the post.

Now to enjoy some of the
lovely weather we have been having!

 |
| Not good on plant names - but it was pretty |
 |
| We went to Scarborough Aquarium. It was the kids' suggestion honest! |

| The jellyfish were stunning and the kids were very excited on my behalf |

Lovely inspirational photos.
I think your unidentified plant is dill...at least, it resembles dill when it matures -- which won't happen in my garden for another few weeks at least!
Lovely to read about your adventures in Yorkshire, but then I am a bit biased, being a Yorkshire lass myself!
