Bingley Heaven

Cat drove us out to the St Ives Estate in Bingley this morning. If you ever have the chance to go, you must. First stop was the beautiful small lake at the top of the Estate, full of aquatic birds, a wonderful tree lined tarn, with a sculpture on a small island. Then I walked down to the great children's park - full of high quality rides, all for free!

But the real reason for going to St Ives is the wooden sculpture trail. Witches, elves, dragons - they are all there. Clara and Angela had such a lark - Clara imitating the statues was a real treat.

I love living in Bradford, most people have no idea that so close to us are some of the most wonderful sights in England. This is our little treasure.
