A tooth!

Bubs has a tooth poking through. I tried and tried to get a picture but she wouldn't cooperate. I finally gave up and gave her the camera to play with. Amazingly she managed to take a snap of herself and if you look real hard, you can just about see it.

Weaving and pottery

A bit of local history at Queen Street Mill. Kitty loved the giant weaving and I really liked looking at the old looms. Best of all was a pottery craft session in the old weaving shed. Kitty made a wall hanging with her name on, a small coil pot and a little man with wild hair. I made a small fox. Bubs just watched and shouted a lot.

Pond dipping

There is always something new to do. Today, pond dipping at Wycoller. We caught two big bull beetles, a few fish, a red mud worm and a couple of water snails.

Inspired

The drive over the tops to Skipton is a nice one. We were inspired by the views to do something creative.

There was a table available at Coffee and Clay, so we took it and got stuck in. Kitty painted a large bowl.

Ira had a go too and got quite excited. I helped and together we painted a lovely baby bowl.
Both bowls will be fired at the weekend. I can't wait to see what they look like when we pick them up next week.

What's really nice about Skipton town centre is that you can get everywhere by walking along the canal rather than on the roads. From one part of town to the next. To the park and back. Even to the supermarket and the car parks.
Kitty was in awe of the building at the side of the canal - and how on earth it could have been built into the water!

Wheels

We routed out Kitty's old trike. She carefully washed it down with soapy water, gave it a polish with a cloth and declared it fit to give to Ira.
Ira was thrilled. We went for a walk/ride.
