Mr B heads off...

... on the Cubs section of the Waterways Hike and of course its the hottest day or the year!

Short hair ...

... for Miss M!

Glee!

Such a treat - Miss M and I went to see Glee Live at the MEN arena!

There was some serious buying of 

T Shirts before the concert started!

It was a fantastic show - all the great songs! Miss M spent the whole time stood on her seat!

Ben's First Judo Competition

 4 fights - no wins - but he was VERY happy to get a bronze medal that he "earned fair and square!"

Walking to school...

Miss M walking Mr B to school - the first time without me or Gma taking him - "I did miss you so much Grandma" he said when she collected him at the end of the day

Goodbye Smithy Cottage...

... Farewell to Yorkshire - time to go home - school is back for me and Miss M on Monday - Mr B goes back on Wednesday - then 7 long weeks until the summer hols!

Lightwater Valley

A hot day of rollercoasters and water splash rides!

Bedtime reading

I never thought I would see the day when Mr B would choose to read to himself! Miss M meanwhile never has her nose voluntarily out of a book - this week it is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Off to Malham Cove...

a beautiful day for a walk up the 368 steps to the limestone pavement at top of the cliff!

A day at Fountains Abbey

Where ancient ruins were clambered on - slopes were rolled down - ponds were poked with sticks - and afternoon tea was shared :)
