We had breakfast and then checked out of The Yorkshire Hotel. Luggage loaded into the car; we drove to Wakefield to visit the Cathedral. The Church is large in size and has a lovely interior. We enjoyed our visit and I got my Cathedral passport stamped. The lady who put the sticker in my passport [...]

Harrogate – Day Three
For breakfast, my taste buds were looking forward to pancakes and fruit compote, but sadly pancakes weren’t on offer this morning leading me to plan B choices. After a bowl of fresh fruit, I selected some of the more visually appealing items that were on offer from the cooked breakfast area. The eggs looked unappetising [...]

Harrogate – Day Two
Today was my birthday so I enjoyed a cup of tea in bed whilst opening prezzies. Breakfast was much as I remembered it although now it is completely self service whereas on our previous visit some of the breakfast items such as eggs were cooked fresh to order.
After breakfast we walked through misty Harrogate to [...]

Harrogate – Day One
We set off almost as planned after a slight delay. Our neighbours were leaving the house as Mr C was loading the car. They were concerned about his health issues and stopped for a chat.
We drove through the morning’s hazy fog and stunning autumnal tree colours enjoying Mr C’s new car which is really comfortable [...]

Last Post Shift Walk of the Year
Before the clocks changed at the weekend I enjoyed one last post shift walk at Attingham Park. I was treated to some beautiful Autumn colours and the walled garden was decked out for ‘The School of Magic’ trail.
When the evenings get darker after the clocks change I like to travel home in daylight to avoid [...]

Cardiff – Day Six
We were all packed and ready to check out before we enjoyed one last breakfast, after which we drove to Caerphilly to visit the castle. The car park closest to the castle was full so rather than wait for a space we chose to park in the long stay car park. This meant we had [...]

Cardiff – Day Five
I continued to sample the various breakfast options choosing different items from the hot cooked buffet selection. It was only after I had made my selection that I noticed crusty bread was on offer to accompany the continental breakfast options, unlike the previous days.
After breakfast we took a leisurely walk through town in the direction [...]
