You park in the free car park and walk alongside the very quiet road with gorgeous hedgerow shrubs and fields either side, these flowers looked stunning (guelder rose?) and I can't believe all the fields of tall buttercups I've seen this year...
As we had our wellies on we went off-road and into the beck, M leading the way...
under tiny bridges and stepping carefully on the slippery stones...
Just here...
We let the little people go on by themselves for a while...
When we approached the aisled barn, we noticed a trailer full of sheep, we had just missed some shearing. Then inside we found this lovely lady spinning her wool from Cocoa the sheep. I can't believe I didn't ask her name and was cheeky enough to take loads of photos! I particularly liked her pointy edged jumper...
She let the children each have a turn on her spinning wheel...
and then wrapped their spun yarn around their wrists as a little bracelet...

She had lots of lovely dyed wool set out on a table for all to see, M and I had a funny little conversation about rainbow sheep...
She had some leaflets for Woolfest, Cumbria and told us she would be there, I mentioned I would quite like to go to a local event called Yarndale, Skipton and she said she had also booked a stall there and to say hello if we went. We headed towards the cafe for an ice cream...
Passing some wonderful houses with very pretty doors...

Sibling love...
And then back along the road to the same path we followed on the way in. Always something different to see here. A lovely day out as it always is, whatever the weather...Nx
