Yarndale Day 2

I must say I'm flagging now! I'm not sleeping as well as I should, my body alternates between hot and cold all night which doesn't lend itself to a restful sleep. It's an age thing!
Anyway back to Yarndale, it's nice to have the second day as it's a chance to mop up, visit all the stalls we didn't have chance to look at properly yesterday. It also means more money spent. I do wonder how I will smuggle my purchases in to my house! It doesn't stop me though. I've been saving my £2 coins all year for this very weekend.

Haworth the home of the Bronte family

We really did have a lovely day yesterday, which ended very nicely with a walk around Haworth. It was dark when we walked around so no good photos I'm afraid. Despite the darkness you couldn't fail to capture the beauty of the place. Maybe it wasn't beauty, maybe it was the nostalgia and romance of a bygone era. Maybe it was the very fact that this is Bronte country! Although reading some of the facts anyone living passed the age of 25.8 years was doing well. 
Our day has started well today too. A fantastic Yorkshire breakfast to set us off. It would be rude not to eat it all and my sides are fit to burst. It's a stroke of luck that Haworth is on a hill. I may have to roll home!

Attic 24

At the top of Coopers lives the creative work place of Lucy of Attic 24. It was lovely to see her crocheted creations in the flesh.

Yarndale

Well we arrived at Yarndale this morning. A beautiful drive through hill and dale. I've been counting the sleeps for a while, not because Yarndale is my most favourite place in the world but because it's a weekend away from my normal life with my equally mad friend! We leave our husbands at home and do what we want when we want, often it's stopping to squish yarn!

We've both already sorted with some of our hard earned and pleased with our purchases we have taken a wander into Skipton itself. Creatures of habit we always make for Cooper's where we are guaranteed some decent food and a warm and welcome drink. Lattés all round!
