1st weekend in May: Skipton Waterways Festival and family time

Friday: M got a free day off school (sickness bug). It's not often we get girly time - just us, we went for a short walk to get some fresh air...

 We spent the afternoon at the park, the one with the sand...

 cherry blossom falling...

Saturday: The tribal/belly dancers at the waterways festival (just finished their set).  I remember these lovely ladies from the Fairy Festival last year, gorgeous...

 Meeting some owls...

 Eating ice cream on a sunny afternoon...

 Riding a bike on the water...as you do!

 A lovely painted window...

 and a painted sheep...ready and waiting for the tour de france...

 you can't have a waterways festival without canal boats...

Sunday: we found a new park to visit...cycling round the outdoor bandstand...

 Collecting nature's treasure...

 Tending to the tadpoles...

 Looking at yucky slugs...

 Ro's rainbow...
