The Rantings of the barely human.
My Parents are generally considerd to be cooler than I will ever be, as a reward for working like crazy their whole lives they now travel round Europe in a camper van having the kind of retirement we all dream off and refusing to use their bus passes.
This blog is the record of thoese trips
When walking through a field and you see a big bull on your right, and 20 (very pretty) cows on your left. Retrace your steps (trying not to panic). It it then very wise to take a 1/2 mile detour, including climbing a stone wall, jumping a stream, picking your way across a bog and finally scrambling over a wire fence, bringing you to the field after the bull
Well I didn’t think these places exist any more No wi-fi No phone signal so I will post this when we get back to civilisation. We are in the Caravan Club site at Rosedale Abbey in the heart of the Yorkshire
Dales
It’s a quiet site in a quiet village that only comes to life at weekends. Sandra and Brian came up to see us on Sunday and we had a good Sunday lunch in the pub ‘it was great to see them. Today we have been for a walk up to the head of Rosedale and back down a old iron ore railway track.
While walking through the village I got talking to the village gardener / handyman who was starting to get things ready for the village show next weekend. I asked him was it a good show he replied “We have tractors, cows, sheep and this year we even have goats” He was also worried what he was going to do tonight,the local pub was closed for a private function, and he was barred from the top house. So he did not know how he would spend the evening. For all you golfers out there, this is a picture of the 5th green at Rosedale golf course.
It isn’t Lake Garda!!
Well its the start of another trip, but this time we are staying in England taking in most of the northern national parks. Today we head off to The Yorkshire Moors then Northumberland, The Lake District, The Yorkshire Dales, and Derbyshire Dales, staying in 11 different campsites over the next 7 weeks.
About every 3 months team Edmundson electrical Scunthorpe play team Seymour and Castle Louth at Golf. In other words Dean and Chris from Edmundson play Buzz and myself. This Saturday it was at Tetney, with a special deal of coffee and bacon bun on arrival, a round of golf, then lunch all for £20 (fantastic). The weather was good, the company excellent (Dean kept us all laughing as usual) All together a good round, except we lost. This now ties the score at one match halved and 1 win each.
It’s a hard life being a athlete.
After lunch we sat in the bar watching the men’s cycle road race. (we do suffer for sport) Then back home to watch the Hungarian G.P. Qualifying.
Then shower and smarten up (a little bit), off to Buzz’s for a barbecue with good friends and some excellent food made and contributed by the guys.
A PERFECT SATURDAY
