A busy day, first off today I have a MRI appointment at 8.15 in Truro so have to be there by 8 and then it's a trip to Tescos, I also need to work out how I'm going to get to the hospital in Plymouth tomorrow, so it's straight back to reality! Hope you all enjoy the Bank Holiday. Pam Hope your MRI goes ok for you today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrogate is about 4 miles from Knaresborough and much better imo. We've done Harrogate though. Fabulous place In fact my mum and dad lived there when my dad worked for Leeds United for a couple of years so we visited a lot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we aren't there yet as we were delayed due to a medical emergency and boppy seas. Pouring down and low cloud ... anyone know if they'll make us go up the sky lift? Have brought 2 large cases but not thought about a hat and gloves. There's snow up in those mountains !!!! Ps NO comments about the weather at home accepted!! 😉 not a comment but a picture. Sorry it is upside down but the sky looks the same whichever way you look at it Edited May 29, 2023 by pete14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pub and garden opposite the entrance to Old Mother Shiptons cave. I'm sure you will have a great day and Harrogate is very close as well. York is an amazing city and the Designer shopping outlet just off the A64 is excellent too. Edited May 29, 2023 by grapau27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted May 29, 2023 #46310 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Morning all hope you all have a nice day wherever your going today . A fair chunk of S Yorkshire will have a nice day out down Wembley , one team will have a nicer day than the other though. For those who like Bank Holiday shopping in supermarkets ,good luck . Far to busy for my liking .I once went on a bank holiday and it was packed ,everyone seemed to be there shopping . Dianna Ross was behind me at the check out and tried to barge her way past me but I was having non of it , so I told her .. " You can't hurry love , you'll just have to wait ! " 🙃 Whatever your doing enjoy 🙂 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No were going to use an air bridge but too windy and can't use enough lines to secure ship. Cable cat.. yes. No chance in this so in some ways done us a favour as didn't fancy a cable car in the cold and clouds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good day there . We used to go to the lido too. I have a photograph of the kids in the river. You can't see any water, just a few hundred air beds 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted May 29, 2023 #46321 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Brilliant sunshine here today. I am currently writing this cowering in the shade of a sun brolly out in the back garden patio with a glass of chilled Chablis to hand. Need to take picture as this doesn’t happen too often up here. As a nod to reality there is still a vestige of snow on the top of the hills I can see from the upstairs windows of the house. Can’t see anything to spoil the illusion of sunshine from the gardens as we have bushes and trees right round. Hope you are all enjoying the fine weather where you are. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Capt has taken us through lots of different fjords to avoid going out to sea yet as it is chopping. It has been wet but stunning and sooooooooo relaxing. Scenery stunning despite it all. PO done us proud today and not wanting to sound like a cheerleader ... it really has been an excellent day for us. Will just have to come back again to find the sunshine 🌞 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
