How was your bank holiday weekend? I hope you found time to spend it with loved ones. For once the sun was shining and Monday was a lovely day here in the north west. We didn't want to waste it even though me and the eldest were a tad off colour and decided to go for a little drive out. That little drive out resulted in a lovely afternoon at Standedge Tunnel visitors centre in Marsden. It really was a case of seeing the sign and saying 'shall we see what that's about?'
The girls loved it. There's an outdoor play area with picnic tables, and an indoor soft play area too. As well as a small exhibition telling you about the tunnel and a craft space too (unfortunately dosed on our visit) Just a few yards away there's a cafe where you can not only get the requisite ice creams for the small people, but also tickets for a boat ride too. We didn't partake on this occasion but plan to on our return. We'll also make sure we follow the nature trail. Unfortunately our pram is just a bit big really for the trail so I'll make sure I take a sling for the little man next time.
It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours with the kids and without sending much money too (always a bonus) If you're in the area then definitely take a look.
I haven't got much to show this week for Handmade Monday I don't know were the week has gone to be honest. I did have a trip to a Haberdashery in Bolton earlier today and bought myself some fabric.... If you want to know what I'm going to use it for well you'll just have to wait and see!
Til next time!

Always good to have an enjoyable bank holiday and the weather helped, didn't it? Look forward to seeing what you make with the fabrics.
It sounds a great place Helen, shame about the craft space being closed but one of the good reasons to go back again. Hope you have a good week.
Sounds like a fabulous place, and you have a perfect excuse to go back too! Look forward to seeing what you make with the fabric - am intrigued by the fur! xxx
Nice to find a new place to visit. glad you had fun. Really looking forward to see what you make with the material.
The weather, warm and sunny, was unusual for a bank holiday wasn't it? It sounds like you had a wonderful time.
The flowery fabric you've bought looks lovely. Looking forward to seeing what you make with it.
Sounds like a great place to visit - but alas too far! Have a good week, Jo x
