Waterfalls and Hills

This weekend has seen Lyns’ not so little sister Lauren and her boyfriend Thomas come to visit us for a few days. We decided to head over to the Yorkshire Dales for the day to make the most of, what looked like it could be, good weather. We were worried driving over as the rain came down but, as it turned out, there was no rain for us!

A Day on the Farm

We got there relatively early but yet the car park was already full. That had to be a good sign. We entered the Farm and there is loads to do. Of course though, the play park and a sand pit took priority and James made a beeline for them. No problem, meant I could sit down and relax in the sun whilst he played. Now.... how to stop myself falling asleep?

Nursery Funday and a Party

James started off with the animals. He even stroked the cow which was lovely to see. After that, we went to see the reptiles and the spider. James was full of tales from when we went to the conservation centre at Askham Bryan. Much to Lyns’ delight, James enlightened her with all sorts of stories that put her mind at rest whilst staring into the eyes of a python.

Back to the Priory

We all headed out to get there just after opening time, but we arrived a little while before the others. Turns out Gav’s in built sat nav was not quite as effective as the electronic version! Not that it mattered at all as it meant Lyns got to partake in one of her favourite past times, drinking tea.

Fifty Years and Still Going Strong

By the Saturday, the glorious weather from the week before had blown away and we were met with a wall of fog blowing in from the sea. I started the day with a ten mile run, running along the cliff top path to the next bay, Runswick Bay. It was a bitterly cold run but worth while as it was very scenic. Once I had got back and showered we headed off to Whitby.

Find the Treasure

After we had had a cup of coffee and our lunch, we explored the play area. It was massive with so many different things for the little man to play on. He was in his element. It culminated in a zip line which he loved, all apart though from dragging it back to the start, this was Daddy’s job.
