Yep still raining .. off and on... but I've just looked at tomorrow's forecast and there is a great big yellow sun there. Fingers crossed here for that.
Washing machine already on .. ready to put the sheets out tomorrow. How sad is that!!!!
I am sure everyone is just bursting for a bit of sun. What a pity it's a work day... some people will not even see it. Luckily I finish at 11.30...so maybe a little fresh air and sunshine for me.

Amaryllis
Look at this. What a sight to cheer us up before Spring. My cousin bought us this and we have really enjoyed watching it grow since Christmas . It flowered today. It's glorious.

Rise and Shine
Well the days are definitely getting longer. I usually drive to work and it's pitch black . This morning i suppose partly because the weather was better i noticed pinky clouds at one side of the sky and as I was almost at college the dawn sky was magnificent with the town buildings silhouetted in front of it. It took my breath away for a moment and made me feel maybe Spring is not that far off. This photo from fellow flickrite Bobby8 seems to say it all.

Wading Home from School
Water water everywhere. The weather continues to be dreadful. Nearby towns are flooded and everywhere the ground is absolutely saturated. This photo is from flickr photographer Borolad and shows Mytholmroyd flooded this afternoon.
Even for those of us on higher ground it's all becoming very weary.... although obviously it's not as bad as for those flooded out.
How we all long for just a little sunshine so we can get the boots on and get out into the countryside.... how long is it to Spring???

Holiday time
Back to work after the Christmas break. Had a great time.. but very busy. One thing we really enjoyed was a journey on the Settle to Carlisle Railway. We took Joseph who thought it was wonderful. I sort of made a New Year's Resolution that i would return to blogging but look it's day 18 and this is my first post!!!

My dad!
Our new granddaughter Rebekah arrived a little early a couple of weeks ago. She is now home and doing well after excellent care at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital Sheffield Uk. She is a real little treasure and I am sure we will all have lots of fun together.

House moving
Well we put the house up for sale in november. We sold it immediately as it is a lovely house. however the sale fell through the week before we were due to move. So we spent Christmas sitting on boxes in between showing viewers around. We got a buyer again within a week but we are still allowinig viewers round as it isn't really sold until we exchange contracts (the agent says!).
It is the nicest house we have ever lived in. Lovely views over the garden. We can watch the boats on the canal. We have stained glass and beautiful original fireplaces. The house is on four floors thoguh. We still have a coal fire and the coal is in the cellar... at the moment it's ok but the coal bucket seems to be getting heavier. So time for a move with kids grown up and grandchildren arriving ....

Just a little blue!
After weeks of endless rain and grey skies we saw just a little blue sky today. It was essential to get out there and walk. It was pretty chilly but refereshing. The roads and fileds are soaked and it made for some interesting photos. Nice to get back inside now with a hot cuppa. My cameraphone is so handy!

Hartley Homes Colne
Not been around much on the blog. the reason is connnected to this photo. This is the alms houses in Colne and is where my dad spent his last ten years. His wife, my step mother has lived there since my dad died 10 years ago.
In August she had to go into a home because of dementia. Although she has family of her own it was left to our famiiy to pick up the pieces and sort out the house. it has been quite sad but I felt it was the last thing I could do for my dad.
This photo was takne at 7 am on wednesday morning as I waited for the council to come and pick up the last items which we couldn't find a home for . i handed the key back just after this pic.
