How stunning are the Yorkshire dales! Today was a tiring day of being on the road, and we are both happy to be relaxing in our next bnb. We are here till Friday.
It was bad planning on my part toЧитать далее

Today started off slowly and we didn't feel in the mood to do anything too adventurous. First job was to go into the next village (Skipton) and find a raincoat. I didn't pack one as I thought it wasЧитать далее

Even though it's beautiful and so cleverly done, it just seems such a waste of time. But if that's all women were allowed to do, I guess they had to fill their days with something. I'd have been happier turning all the windfall apples into pies 🥧🥧

You can understand why Dad used to say that English green was different to Australian green. Looks like you've given it a green highlight. Beautiful!

Today we drove to Grassington which is only about 25 minutes from where we are staying. It is a very pretty village which is used for the latest James Herriot TV series as the town of Darrowby. ThereЧитать далее

It is hard to put today into words ...
It started lying in bed at 7:30am listening to the torrential rain and wondering if we should just stay home. Maybe we should have. If we hadn't prepaid theЧитать далее
Путешественник Sorry you had a difficult weather day. The organ looks magnificent. Hopefully tomorrow will be more relaxing
Путешественник Wow what a day, the weather is certainly a tricky thing to deal with. I don't normally choose to ride in the rain but when I'm on the bike tours in Holland/ Cotswold and it's raining I will have no choice but to ride 😖 so if it's raining I'll remind myself that you still went out in the rain

The weather was much brighter today. The original plan had been to ride on the iconic Skipton-Settle-Carlisle railway to Appleby and back. Alas there was industrial action this week with many trainsЧитать далее
Путешественник Shame you missed Skipton-Settle-Carlisle railway to Appleby. It looks like you had a lovely day, looks beautiful
Путешественник Oh yes what a shame to miss that train ride over the impressive Ribblehead! But so glad you enjoyed the (sunny) day.

Today was an epic day of travelling. Our drive from Birmingham to Yorkshire took us 3.5 hours last Sunday, and today was meant to be the reverse of that, 4 hours to Gloucester. 2 hours would get usЧитать далее

Such a bland place after all the other amazing architecture. Just as well their china is prettier than the estate.
Путешественник Reminds me of travel in NZ. Drive 100kms and you can expect that to take 2 hours.

Today we drove to Cirencester as it was Market Day. Markets are always a bit unpredictable, and I while I love artisan craft markets, I didn't want to drive 30 minutes for a perfect home grownЧитать далее
Путешественник The pipe organ is next level in embellishment. That’s a really impressive church. Cork fabric sounds intriguing you are very restrained - I would have bought a bag as well as the necklace. I’m glad you had a good day and the markets had so much more on offer than perfect pumpkins. Are there any organ recital schedules to check out so you could hear them being played?
Путешественник I checked about recitals before we came. We seem to just miss them.
Путешественник It all sounds so interesting the things you have seen and done.
Путешественник I wonder if you will ride near here in your Cotswolds tour?
Путешественник I've just looked at my tour route and I do pass through the town. 😃

Путешественник Those gardens are so spectacular! Too bad Murgatroyd wasn't cooperative.

Today was a travelling day. Highnam (Gloucestershire) to Crockerton (Wiltshire) is only 1.5 hours drive so we planned to go via Bath and check out the Roman bath. We could have gone on the motorwayЧитать далее
Путешественник Your view on to the garden is lovely and I’m glad your weren’t relegated to the shed. I’m pleased you bought that bag.

Great choice; it's lovely. Glad you had the time flexibility to return for this.
Путешественник I feel so rested after just thinking about how lovely it would be to spend a week in this cottage!

Oh that looks just delightful! Love the Yorkshire dales 😊
