At last my sister and I were able to celebrate my birthday which had taken place in Lockdown. She had bought me a weekend at Nidd Hall, a Warners Hotel near Harrogate and the highlight of the weekend was a performance by Anton Du Beke and Erin. They were fabulous dancers, of course but also very funny.
We visited Ripley and Knaresborough as well as Fountains Abbey and on the way back we had a glorious day in Harlow Carr gardens. They have been working on the waterways during Lockdown. The water was sparkling and the banks were full of flowers and plants tumbling into the water. I took lots of photos and this is a pastel I’m working on now.
