Living the dream - Our villa is for sale

August 21

- Last day in the UK for this trip. Bill proposed a trip out to the Wensleydale cheese factory to watch cheese making and of course to buy a few samples to take back with us. The factory is situated in the village of Hawes, so we just had to take a walk down Hawes High Street to see the market stalls and to take lunch in a local pub. The village was quite busy with tourists and locals alike and it is made up of beautiful stone cottages and littl

e waterfalls running down the stream. We walked all around the village and spent time in a museum and Tourist Info Centre. You can say what you like but these Yorkshire villages with the stone cottages are just lovely and having taken a lot of pics, I decided that I love this one, but maybe in the winter when the stream is a raging torrent I would think differently. Outside one cottage there were two sheep dogs at each end of the wall and this one was quite clearly saying I've got my eye on you, there was no way I was going much nearer. We walked back towards the centre of the village and the car park and then we saw the ultimate , probably used by the owners of my mate after he's had your leg off.

For our last evening we went in to Harrogate to a small French restaurant and have to say that we had some lovely food at a very good price. A lovely way to finish off our too short stay in Yorkshire. Bill and Margaret don't know it yet but they have not seen the last of us, but please a little better weather.
