We’re going to John and Delyth’s Wedding tomorrow in Leeds, so that’s a perfect excuse to make a weekend of it.
We set off just before 10 and had a trouble-free journey until we got to Doncaster, where the traffic just stopped just a mile or so before junction 36. We decided to make a slight detour and head for Brodsworth Hall and find somewhere for lunch.
Almost perfect timing then, as we arrived at around 12.35, just time to grab something to eat before looking round the house that opened at 1.
Brrrr, it’s f-f-f-f-freezing!, can’t wait to get inside!!!
What a nice place. A sort of modern old mansion – 1860s – if that makes sense.and English Heritage had had enough sense not to over restore the place, so you really got a feel for what the place really like. The Guides were really knowledgeable and the place was very busy. By 2.30, we’d done the place to death including walking round the very pretty – even in April – gardens.
A good onward journey too – arriving at Baytree B and B run by Mandy at around 3.45. We quickly unpacked and then walked (yeah honest!) walked into Town looking for somewhere to eat tonight.
The rain is getting wetter and colder, so the walk into town was pretty ‘orrible! Still, once into Harrogate, we wandered around the shops and even managed to spend some money too! (how unusual!!!!). We soon found a place to eat – Prezzo in Albert Street- and decided to eat early rather than walk all the way back to the B and B and walk back into town. The food and service was excellent and we had a really relaxed time (the bottle of wine between us helped!!!). Ninety-minutes later, We left staggered out of Prezzo, set the sat-nav to ‘walk-mode’ and followed the instructions back to the B and B. In spite of partial inebriation and a small screen, we made it. Time for feet-up. The final series of Ashes to Ashes starts tonight, but we’ll probably wait until we’re back home to watch it.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
