Hurdity - Whatever the weather does it will be a break / change.
Really hope you enjoy it.

Back - we had variable weather but enjoyed the break!

Only holiday I have planned is beginning of July.  I am spending a few days down in Devon, with the rest of my familiy to celebrate my parents 60th Wedding anniversary.

[CLKD]

Wombat - we went to Barnard Caslte for antique shops.  Our 1st visit to the area.  Curlew everywhere, green plover, I saw 2 red grouse but DH was driving carefully across the moors.  Went to Brough for the castle and home-made farm ice-cream.  Went to a walled garden/nursery.  Walked.  Rested.  Not close to the coast.

Suzicals - haven't been to Devon for years, well down on your parents anniversary.

[Wombat]

Sounds great CLKD. I love antiquing.   And ice cream and fish and chips come to that....

[CLKD]

So Whitby will suit us then ……. as will Sheffield next month ……..

[Hurdity]

It was great thanks but very wet!!! Not all the time....  I live in Devon but this was a different part to where we live. For those who can't get away much - even a night away seems like a holiday if you can possibly make it and does wonders for feeling of well-being I think. Away from routine and daily worries - or at least can help put worries in perspective.

Sounds great CLKD - all those birds. I had to Google Barnard Castle because I didn't know where it was!

Neither did we ……… it was a name on the map.  Scotch Corner and turn left …….. 

[Taz2]

I've never been either - is it worth a visit? It's almost 300 miles from here.

If you like wild and woolly.  Wouldn't go again unless it is for trout fishing in the reservoirs.  Barnard Castle is built on a steep hill, bit like Broadway in the Cotswolds.  People are friendly.  Lots of gardens to visit, Museums and derelict sites ……… I prefer Derbyshire …...

[Taz2]

Thanks! Might pop across next time I'm on the coast - it's not that far from Saltburn by the look of it.

Barnard Castle is about 40 miles from the East coast ……..

[Taz2]

Yes, that's what I meant - it's not that far if I've already travelled almost three hundred miles
