Back at work after a weeks holiday in Stump Cross near Halifax. We had some average weather and some good weather, returning home on Tuesday when the rain started.
We visited the Piece Hall in Halifax where farmer/weavers used to come to sell their pieces of cloth. It has had a varied life including a spell as a fruit and veg market but currently houses a lot of small businesses with the open space in the middle being used as a temporary beach for children and an outdoor stage.
The B&B we stayed in was called Field House in Staups Lane and run by Pat and Geoff Horrocks-Taylor with help from their spaniel, Bronte. We had a lot of family history research to do and spent time in Halifax library as well as Leeds library but still managed some walking and sightseeing. It was lovely to be able to leave the windows open at night and only hear the trees and birds.
Daughter Holly had a great time in Poland with her orchestra but came back very tired after a tyre-burst on the trailer delayed them on the journey home. Never mind, she has nothing to do now until RESULTS DAY in late August.
