I suppose we would be compaining if weeds weren't growing as nothing else would be either.<br /><br />It was nice to be so busy doing things we enjoy, Anna. I'm really looking forward to going back to Helmsley to visit the walled garden. It's not too far away from me but it's just finding the time.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-75665861712207443692010-06-13T21:40:31.362+01:002010-06-13T21:40:31.362+01:00Sounds as if you packed a lot into one week Jo and...Sounds as if you packed a lot into one week Jo and enjoyed yourselves.

I've never been to the Rotunda Museum, but my son is taking Geology as a GCSE so it's on our list of places to visit.<br /><br />There are some beautiful places in Yorkshire, Pam. I count myself very lucky to live in such a wonderful place.<br /><br />We're less than an hour away from the Dales, Damo, so we do visit there quite often. There's always something new to see each time we go, but we do frequent our favourite haunts too.<br /><br />I really enjoyed all our outings last week, Green Lane Allotments, there's so much to do and see in Yorkshire. As for the lambs, I would have wanted to take one home too.<br /><br />It is good to take a break, Tanya. I'm starting to realise that the kids won't be kids for ever and making the most of the school holidays. Glad that you enjoyed your week too.<br /><br />It was a busy weeek, Scented Sweetpeas, but very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the summer holidays now.<br /><br />I haven't had chance to see if there's any sign of the runner beans yet, Flighty, it's never stopped raining yet this week. It looks like I've got a bumper crop of strawberries coming though.<br /><br />It's nice that I was missed, Steph, thank you. I did enjoy last week, I like nothing better than family time.<br /><br />It was good that we had some fine weather last week, Jeanne. Such a difference from this week, it hasn't stopped raining yet. I haven't managed to make it to the allotment yet this week, but I'm hoping to do so at the weekend.<br /><br />Life, rightly so, does get in the way of blogging sometimes, Avis. I'm sure your tomatoes will romp away once they get planted up.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-90447107372851511402010-06-10T07:16:11.270+01:002010-06-10T07:16:11.270+01:00Jo,

Your tomato plant is bigger than my sprouts, but I'm just going to set them out tomorrow and they should grow pretty quickly.

When I was teaching I used to take 30+ 11 year olds to Askrigg and one day out was to the cattle market at Hawes where they sold 50p lambs. All the children wanted one.<br /><br />Still haven't managed a visit to Newmillerdam this year - when I was working at Woolley we went to the little cafe across the road and had beans on toast for lunch just to get out of the office - familiarity etc.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-2556760720875503422010-06-07T19:47:28.801+01:002010-06-07T19:47:28.801+01:00Hi Jo, sounds like you had a great time.
