On Ilkley Moore Bar T'at

Everyone knows that age old saying, "When in Rome..." Well I'm in Yorkshire but I'll be buggered if I'm gonna sing "On Ilkley Moore Bar T'at" like they do. Well I did however, have a HUGE Yorkshire Pudding with roast beef and loads of rich gravy! No Risk.

Well since my last post, Ray and Vera took me down to Leeds so we could go to the races with friends of theirs.

Next day, out and about in Leeds, to see where mum and her family lived before they went to Australia. My mums the little one with the cheeky grin. The little devil.

Then onto Angela's house in Harrogate. Went out for a lovely dinner where I had the encounter with the Yorkshire Pud. Stayed at Angela and Paul's place last night and again tonight. I went for a drive with Anj this morning out to Knaresborough to see the Viaduct.

Also visited "Mother Shipton's cave" and the "Pertrefied Well", I made a wish, but I can't tell you what it is otherwise it won't come true. Short walk around and Anj found a secret garden.

End of that we had lunch... Pork Pies. Quite tasty but cold and there loaded with gelatine, so a little slimy. Then Angela went home and I walked around the town for a few hours. Through the city gardens and to a spot for a fantastic view.

About 2 hours later I was out of the gardens and into the pub, but not just any old pub. The Oldest Pub In Harrogate! Great place. They had pipes coming up out of the bar like bunson burners with a flame to light cigars, and the like.

Then made my way back here on foot via a music shop :p Y'all know me. Off to York tomorrow morning, first thing coz Angela will be off on holidays starting tomorrow. Might see about getting a job... fingers crossed. Well I'm tired and need a shower.

So talk to the bunch of ya later.
