Wind Down from the Wedding

For a couple of weeks, up to Saturday 14th August life had become very hectic and exciting. Time seemed to implode, and instead of having hours to do things in it felt like we only had minutes. As the Big Day drew nearer time also seemed to speed up, so that the things we had planned to do, and which we felt we had plenty of time to do them in suddenly seemed to require more time!

Suffice it to say that the great day dawned with no major hiccups, but, as most people who have had to arrange a wedding will tell you, the time immediately after a wedding leaves you feeling somewhat deflated.

It was for this reason that I suggested to the Lady of the Manor that we should go off for a couple of days, and we spent two very enjoyable days in Masham.

Today we got round to returning the underskirt which Lulu Brown's Bridal Shop in Clitheroe had lent for the wedding. We could have posted it back, but the weather being so fine all week we used it as an excuse to take a trip to Clitheroe.

After having a meal in Molly's, and looking round the local shops, we decided to move on to the little village of Sabden. The route from Clitheroe to Sabden takes you over some moors, and before you drop down into the village there are some lovely walks on the moors. Having taken Ruby with us, it only seemed fair that she had a walk there. So here are a few photos of Ruby and Dot on Sabden Moor.
