Bedale

Another week has gone by in this lovely part of the world, and the weather has been kind to us. Karen has been able to do some yoga outside following a Zoom class by Daphne with 34 others, and we have been able to continue our daily exercise in the countryside immediately around us. The lambs in the field are lively and offer some further entertainment.
We travelled off site to Ripon early on Wednesday to relieve Morrisons of four weeks worth of food, and also used the occasion to top up our autogas tanks - at the same time having a friendly chat with the policeman who flagged us down on the A168. He was happy with our circumstances, and advised that his dad was looking to buy a motorhome too.
We ventured out on our bikes for the first time this year and aim to gradually build up our stamina for longer rides once the current crisis has subsided. Alan has his sights on the buttertubs crossing between Wensleydale and Swaledale as a gauge for his cycling fitness. (A 100k round trip through the lovely valleys of Yorkshire)
School lessons (maths) are going well with Mrs Maclean and the girls in Brisbane and Magnus in London. Everyone seems to be enjoying the experience and A is impressed with what the youngsters can do.
We have had very little rain here since we arrived, which was made evident on our walk the other day when we were surprised to see a farmer irrigating his fields - in April - most unusual.Leer más
