Sunday we went to Calke Abbey for there annual kite flying day. Although it had been snowing when we woke it was brightening up and there was not much sign of snow when we got there.
They had great fun flying there kite, but after taking some pictures Granny retired to the car to stitch lol.
Granny did get out of the car to go for a nice walk and couldnt resist adding this picture of him running down a steep hill
And lastly no day out is complete without a game of football.

Gingerbread persons!! I'll say no more on that subject lol
It has been a while since I have been to Calke Abbey ,I am thinking of taking the kids to Carsington Water this week,cheap way of exhausting the kids and Reece can go bird watching!!
A fun day for all, and you managed some stitching too in the car! LOL
Gingerbread persons ... grrr makes me cross, the world gone mad, there is such a lot of this going round, my neighbour tells me her grandson has to sing ... BaaBaa Rainbow sheep at the playgroup - whats that all about then!
Looks like you all had a lovely day!
Sounds like you had a fab day out..:) hot chocolate and gingerbread sounds just perfect.
Ooooo a kite flying day at Calke, must remember that for next year. We haven't been kite flying for ages. They have kite flying days at Stafford Castle but there isn't really enough room there. My son lost his kite some years ago there when it got tangled up with anohter one. Much more room at Calke.
I meant to comment at the time on your QotN finish but I've been busy with Spring cleaning and visitors. I love the colour changes you made to the white pelre, I think the lavender colour looks great, it really shows up well. Well done on a really beautiful finish!
awww, how special! Your day was complete with stitching, too?? Awesome Helan!
Hi! Thanks so much for visiting me and leaving such a nice comment.
I love the little chickadee finish, he is so cute.
Congrats! on Queen of the Needle, it's beautiful. I have put you in my GR, so I will be back.
Your HAED is looking interesting. I am about to start my first one Halloween Pixie QS.
I enjoyed browsing your blog
nice photos
Helen,
I have bookmarked your blog because I want to watch to see how your SAL come along. You have a really good eye for color. I think out of all the Papillon samplers I have seen, I like your colors the best and would love to know what you chose. I also think you made really beautiful choices on the EMS sampler and the October Sky sampler. Please keep up the wonderful work
Looks like lots of fun was had over the weekend. :0) Reckon I'd be in the car too - it's bitter out at the minute!
Looks and sounds like a good time was had by all (especially hot chocolate and gingerbread people). Glad the weather cooperated too, the park looked like a fun outing.

That looks like a really fun day. I'd be in the car stitching with granny given half a chance :grin:
