My holiday, btw, was lovely. We stayed in this beautiful cottage in Yorkshire- by far the most beautiful we've ever stayed in. The weather was good, if cold, and in the garden there was an eating-apple tree, a baking apple tree and a pear tree so you could just go out and pick an apple for a snack any time you liked because the fruit trees were all Abundant.We went to some brilliant places, Burton Agnes Hall and Sledmere House are both to be HIGHLY recommended and I befriended a Baby Hedgehog which showed utterly no fear of anything or anyone. Which perhaps isn't just a good thing but I got some AMAZING photographs. A lot of my CUs of flowers turned out really well too, although some of my landscapes....not so good. Ah well.
We went to Beverley Minster which is DEFINITELY worth a visit for the gargoyles alone.
SO CUTE.
*ahem* and we went on a wooden ship designed as a model of Captain Cook's at Whitby and I got DRACULA rock. Which is like normal rock except it is BLACK and awesomely still tastes of mint rather than licorice or something horrible like that.
We went on the Goathland Rail Trail walking to Grosmont then picking up the steamtrain again back to Pickering.
We picked blackberries and made a blackberry and apple ....Experiment with yum-yums and custard.
We did a tour of the charity shops. There was much book buying. I finished two books I'd brought and I discovered a hitherto unknown love of the artwork of Anton Pieck.
Very good holiday. Wish I lived there. Or, you know, somewhere with Views rather than grey stone and red brick and sandstone. Ah well
