We had a day out at Yorkshire Sculpture Park during the hottest British November day on record last weekend. I actually wore just a T-shirt. In November! Located just off the M1 north of Barnsley in West Yorkshire, Yorkshire Sculpture Park encompasses 500 acres of undulating greenery, Bretton Hall, a chapel, lakes, cafes, art galleries and a sprinkling of sculptures across this English country landscape. I'm not an arty person so although I wasn't exactly enthused by the artistry of the statues, I could appreciate the creative inventions and it created some fantastic scenery and a different dimension to a nature walk. Below are the photographs we snapped through the day.

| By far the sexiest rabbit I've ever seen. |
