Springtime in Arkholme

We've had a terrific weekend of spring sunshine, the weather brings everyone out. yesterday we had an Easter egg hunt that took over the village and today after Rugby at Settle we went to Malham Tarn. Andy and Caroline and Archie came to tea last night and we have all been doing some cycling. Lovely time.

Mother's Day


Mother's Day 2012, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

Mother's day in our house was a bit different this year. Unfortunately Gran was not able to come and poor Anne had to work on the day. However, we made up for it by cooking a big breakfast and also a cracking tea for Grandma and Mum - among a flurry of daffodils! Happy days.

Our family, by Helen


Our family, by Helen, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.
Helen did this great sketch of our family. See if you can recognise all 7 of the members? I must admit some amusement at her non flattering and very honest interpretation of my hair (or lack thereof); there is nothing like children to tell it like it is! Great stuff!
