Weekend Wander round Bradshaw, Slaithwaite Huddersfield

5 February 2020 Leave a Comment

Purely because I’m trying to get us all out and about more this year, we went on a wander round Bradshaw, a small hamlet near Slaithwaite in Huddersfield. Unfortunately for us it didn’t quite go to plan. I had thought there was a pub there so we could park up, have a wander round and then go for a lunch afterwards. The road to the pub was full of potholes, one of which was so big and deep we were forced to turn the car around and find an alternative route. We parked up eventually. Unfortunately the pub was shut. Typical.

The weather was awful as well. It was misty and wet. We ended up walking through really boggy fields, some of which had mud so wet and deep Mr R had to carry Holly through them!

We managed a circular route of around 5km, and the scenery would have been incredible if the weather was better.

Thankfully we had brought Haribo with us to bribe Holly and keep her energy levels up while we walked. We also met a gorgeous pig and some horses – we always like to stroke a horse!

Yes, I’m THAT woman out with a camera, taking pictures of everything and anything that moves!

 

 

Despite the disgusting weather and mud, we had a lovely walk out over the tops. It’s definitely a walk we’ll do again, but maybe we’ll wait until the weather has warmed up a little. The views will be amazing on a clear day!

 

If you like this, why not check out some of our other walks? This was a circular wander round Bradshaw, Slaithwaite which we found using the Geocaching app – I can’t recommend this enough for a cheap or free family activity! We’ve been all over, and discovered so many new places.

Coming at you this Easter Sunday with the view of Coming at you this Easter Sunday with the view of the other side of the kitchen with the decorative twig having been salvaged from the garden. I found this on a walk we did in December, intending to use it for a decorative Christmas twig, but I felt so meh over Christmas I just dumped it in the garden (after driving home with it wedged in the car 😂). It's now become the Easter twig/birthday twig of dreams as two thirds of our house have our birthdays soon.

Our egg hunt is done, chocolate has been consumed and Easter is well under way. Hope you have a lovely day!

Hello! No, I'm not dead 😂 It's just been a long Hello! No, I'm not dead 😂 It's just been a long old week of YET MORE home school 🙄. We got an email on Mothers Day to say that someone at Holly's school had tested positive and her bubble had to isolate. We've spent the last week tucked up at home, dealing with decimals and fractions AGAIN, but tomorrow it's the last day! 🎉🎉

After having no enthusiasm for house stuff recently, I mustered up the energy for a clear out in the spare room today. It's a proper shit tip usually as we dump things that have no home in there! I put an ad on Facebook Freecycle for all the bits to give away and it was chaos! People fighting over things, people wanting everything - I don't know if I can cope doing that again!

How are things with you?

Sharing this for @storyofmyhome - "thrifty business" as it's got my lovely big Shit Cupboard, bought on Facebook marketplace, as were the chairs.

Hope you're doing OK x

Monday again... Eugh 😔 And it's back to home sc Monday again... Eugh 😔 And it's back to home schooling, so I'll look forward to making my child to learn maths again. She hates maths although I tricked her by buying some Star Wars puzzle books that are actually maths books and she loves them! She has been doing those voluntarily all half term!

Have a great day!

Lazy like Sunday mornings... And I actually have b Lazy like Sunday mornings... And I actually have been this morning! Usually I'm up at 6am to have a cuppa in peace before everyone else gets up but this morning I switched off the alarm (or rather I asked Mr R to, as I have no idea how to work his 1980s alarm clock) and we slept in. I don't feel any better for it though as we had some wine last night 😬

Today's plans include a walk out for some lunch (again) and to a mysterious tower. Mr R is very excited by it, but I think it's just an old mill chimney and will be very underwhelming 😂 Hope your day is good x

Bit of a dark and moody bit of baking (and insta r Bit of a dark and moody bit of baking (and insta reality with the tin foil tray in the background 🤦). I've been baking more and more as the weeks have gone on, and eating more and more baked items! In order to counteract the effects of the baked yumminess I'm going to run up a big hill today. That's all I've got to tell you 😂

Have a fab Saturday! Have you got anything exciting planned?
