Back at the abode....

and time for a rest for a few days before we head off for a while again. SW, cousins and myself took a coach trip to the Yorkshire Dales "Last of the Summer Wine" trip. Countryside is beautiful and picturesque, was a pity it rained most of the journey :( So anyway, we had a wonder around Holmfirth, where they do the filming and had Gary and Eddie do the chatting about what goes on etc (Eddie is the dog :)) Along the street, I spotted the Last of the Summer Undies!!!Haworth - Bronte Sister country - and Hebdon Bridge we next on the agenda for a visit. Very pretty places and lovely little villages. Leeds market was the last visit on the list. And being a good overseas tourist, I did what you do when you go to Leeds, I bought a Sari!!

The trip home was via Skipton, which was nice - my mum used to go there as a young woman for holidays, so it was nice to see the place first hand. Just by chance, I found the surname of the people she used to stay with, but asked a few people in the town if they were still about, but didn't get much luck :( And then....I went on ANOTHER boat!!! This time it was a canal boat tho LOL
Time to go for now, till next time, you all take care now :))
