Kilometres Walked : Thursday – 4.8, Friday – 11

Friday 31st, March, 2023.

All Creatures Great And Small. First stop, Grassington, Aka Darrowby. Such a captivating little village. Just like a postcard. Tall grey stone buildings lining the narrow laneways. Spring flowers brightening up every bend. Warm inviting coffee shops. The aroma of freshly baked scones😋 And yes you can see exactly why they filmed the tv series here, it’s oh so very picturesque. I can confirm the fruit scone we had with the lot was absolutely delicious. Mmm not sure how bad this habit is becoming? Four scones in the last three weeks ( with the lot! ) Oh well, ‘When in Rome’ they say.

Next stop, Skipton. Another historical market town but much bigger and busier. Catch up time with more family☕️ A short but sweet canal boat ride. A swan in disguise as a goose🦢Lovely lunch with the family. Meandering over cobblestone streets. A medieval Castle perched on the edge of the village.

Rolling green hills and Fells surrounding us on the drive. Blossoms brightly blooming. Waterfalls cascading down hillsides. A glut of twin lambs in almost every paddock. Blue sky trying to show itself. Narrow Stone Bridges in every village. It’s All Creatures great and Small alright.

Today

Slow and steady today. Stock up on supplies. Endless cups of coffee☕️ To much chocolate 🍫Netflix movies. Reading on the lounge📚 Watching the Tups🐏 Wandering around the village. A glass of wine and enjoy the view🍷
