We’re hoping to get away
for a few days this week. We’ve come to the conclusion we’re both getting
overly tired. Our meal out last week did much to boost our morale but a longer
break from routine is needed.
We’ve decided on Wakefield,
not an obvious choice. I admit I associate Wakefield with grime from the days
of the great collieries there. However, the attraction is the Barbara Hepworth Gallery. Some long-standing readers may remember our enthusiasm for her work
when we visit the Tate Liverpool a few years ago.
We’re hoping also to go to
the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. That, too, looks fascinating.
We did entertain the idea
of going to Wakefield last year, but the weather was so abominable, so wet, we
abandoned the idea. Now we’re watching the weather forecasts nervously. It can
snow as much as it likes today, provided the roads are clear by the time we
want to go. Ideally it will be dry, but we’re consoling ourselves with the
thought that the gallery itself is an indoor attraction so weather doesn’t
matter too much. I gather the cathedral, too, is worth an investigate.
We’ve invested in another
Satnav system so it will be given a try out in unfamiliar territory. Hopefully
we won’t go via Buxton this time! We’re hoping to take it to France with us
when we go in April.
