We went climbing:
We played pooh sticks:
We hid in the tent between the heavy showers and thunderstorms, that lead to fantastic photo opportunities:
We found mines to explore (this is Force Crag Mine - you can get in the top, google revealed a map):
And, I have started knitting again. This is an enormous relief, and mostly due to visiting woolfest. Actually, I had a lovely time at woolfest - I didn't spend much at all (my only purchase was a lovely skein of self striping sock yarn from Jen at Fibrespates) but just wandering round all those stalls looking at fantastic things and stroking wool and smelling sheep was just so insirational. So I got out my tangled yoke cardigan a few times, and have finished the body up to the armpits, and made most of the first sleeve. The I only have to finish 4" of body before I get to the 20 exiting rows. But it is good knitting to pick up when there are little kiddies running around and you can't concentrate that much. I'll save the photos for a while, because it doesn't look a whole lot different to the last time I took them!
And my main distraction at home is nearly finished:
This is the current state of the bookshelves in my sitting room. I have been putting gloss paint on these for quite a while now, but I am finally on the last litle bit. I am looking forward to the paint drying so that I can finally unpack all our books and put them away. The last boxes from when we moved - only 3 years late, which isn't bad considering!

Glad you're back and feeling better. That pooh sticks photo is lovely.
The holiday looked great, and so do your book shelves!
Fantastic photos!
Wish I could have been there re: the Lakes. As far as the painting of shelves is concerned: you have my sympathy!
