Escape from hospital....

A day after being released Claire needed some dales therapy so we headed down to Fewston reservoir for a short walk in the sunshine.

Hospital

Claire became more and more breathless in Northumberland and then ended up in hospital and needed an operation to remove 2.5 litres of fluid from her lung . Thom made an overdue visit and much fun was had with the buttons on the bed! Who knew they went that high!

Northumberland

At the beginning of July we headed up to the Northumberland coast an area we'd never explored before. Despite the tantrums of a 3.5 year old and some serious rain we had a good time. Definitely will be back. 

Cheryl & Steve

We were honoured to have Cheryl and Steve make the trip up from Wales to come visit. Both had never to  Yorkshire before so we gave them a good taste of the dales life. Burnsall picnic, afternoon in Grassington and then a day in Pateley visiting the museum and shops and finally a trip to Scar House reservoir. 

Being kids again!

A Friday night treat saw us hooking up with Julie and Andy and the kids at Billy bob's American diner near Skipton.  The kids and us big kids had the play barns all to ourselves.....happy to report no one got hurt despite much reckless rope swinging! Great times :-)

Beloved Burnsal

Monday's don't come much better than this. Making up for the lost Friday at Leeds hospital Claire and I took a ride out to Burnsall.  What a fabulous place! Only 20 minutes from home too! Happy days :-)

Appletreewick to Home

Had another great walk with Andy today. Julie dropped us off near Appletreewick and we walked home via Simons Seat and Trollers Gill.  13 miles in total and great weather for it.
