We were near Tel's part of the world yesterday in Saltaire! We went for a walk around the village & a look around Salts Mill, we've been there quite a few times, it has collections of David Hockney's work, books, art materials, home & garden products (no plants or anything like that though) & cafes- had coffee & Italian choc. fudge cake with ice cream

. The village has a small section of allotments near the mill which look brilliant - except you have to put up with all the tourists walking past watching you! There was a mini festival on while we were there with a heritage exhibition, music & 3 alpacas - Titus Salt who owned & built the mill & village made fabric from their fleece. Took a couple of photos of the allotments & the alpacas too!
