Re: Happy Birthday Old GreyFox!
Thanks for your birthday wishes everyone, I wish I could buy you all a drink.....Perhaps one day.....
Thanks Judd, I know it was meant 'In the best possible taste'.....
Those kisses from Rhian and Morty have left me shaken but not stirred!...
Thanks....Sorry if I haven't got round to thanking everyone personally, but you are all appreciated.......
Omar, The Yorkshire Wolds contain some of the best scenery Yorkshire has to offer and there are several long distance paths through the area. Although I have only walked most of them in bite size chunks, if you ever fancy a taster, give me a call and we can do a few miles on some of my favourites...Here is a sample of today's outing.
Our first stop off was Sledmere House, we intended staying the day there and visiting the house and gardens. Unfortunately the house is not open on a Saturday, so I didn't fancy paying a tenner just for a stroll round the gardens. The cafe' was open though and supplied us with some excellent food before moving on......This is a much as we got see of Sledmere House...
We motored up to Scampston House, but that was also closed on a Saturday.....
Fortunately there is a woodland walk round the grounds, so we took the long path and encountered the amazing Spanish Sweet Chestnut tree....
I don't know what came over me....
..I just had to go and hug it....We reached a lake full of Lilly Pads.....
And the little bridge over the waterfall.....No Trolls....
After the promised hunk of cake in the restaurant we set off for home and my favourite Fish Restaurant....Fantastic weather throughout, and the best birthday ever.....
Thanks again for all of your best wishes......

hides the simple but elegant garden
which offsets the opulent elegance inside
