A Short Trip into Yorkshire

[DBK]

Are we in France? The mistletoe would suggest we are.

But no, we are on the Southwick Farm CL a little south of Tewkesbury. Where the blue blob is on the map below and under a mostly blue sky!

We had a slow trip up the M5 yesterday from Plymouth with heavy traffic in places, mostly, according to Google Maps due to accidents although by the time we crawled to the scene of the accident everything had been cleaned away.

We are supposed to be in the field.

But it is waterlogged. The farmer says he hasn't been able to put a tractor on his fields since early October and several fields haven't been planted.

It is possible to walk into Tewkesbury from here but the path was very damp so we drove to a supermarket instead.

Charlie is not entirely sure what's going on.

Why we are here in the UK instead of France or Spain is due to paint. Which Mrs DBK says needs replacing around the windows and I've been delegated to redecorate our outhouse, known as "the shed" where I do my ham radio stuff. This all means we have to stay in the UK. Apparently. Hmmmmm.....

But we are heading into Yorkshire tomorrow. If we are not heard from again you know where to send the search parties.

You are in for a treat nowt better than Yorkshire and Yorkshire folk.

Weather looks good there? I'm going to Upton-upon-Severn on Monday but I bet it rains

You'll still need your passport at the border

You might get showers according to the forecast but compared to recent weeks this is a drought! Twenty four (and a bit more) hours without rain here have made quite a difference.

Well it's been peeing down here near Settle all week. The grass areas of the CL are like a quagmire and the path to the elsan is like a marshland.

But at least the high winds dry it out a bit between the rain.....

Enjoy...

Keep away from ‘Ull. There be monsters………

I have to venture up t’north to a place called Doncaster in a few weeks time dreading it but it will be like a Ninja operation in and out in the same day

Watch it me and Minxy will be after you
Beautiful city, just look above ground floor level, free museums, good beer and friendly folk.

 

[Nirvanauk]

Don’t forget a trip to Whitby. Sandfield house campsite at the top . Excellent.

 

[Yorick]

There's some beautiful scenery in Yorkshire.
Obviously you won't be able to see it for the rain.
But it's the thought that counts

Treat yourself & stay for the night
Donny’s a cracking night out, especially Flairs

It’s looking more settled here but the wind will still be chilly…

Especially as l understand Racing at Olivers Mount is to on again.

……and for “Fine Dining”……experience a fabulous lunch at the “DN1” restaurant. You can watch the Chefs prepare the food and they will chat with you about what they are doing. Not cheap, but a great experience…..much like you might find in the top spots in London, but at half the price.

An interesting fact about Doncaster…. It has one of the 3 Mansion Houses in England. The other two are at York and the City of London.

I have plenty of garlic, silver bullets and crucifixes. Minxy won't come near
