From there, first the Transpennine Express, then a local train and finally my sister-in-law and her car will take us to Ripon, where we'll be staying at the same lovely cottage we had last year until the 27th.
We are very much looking forwrad to our Yorkshire holiday, and a few things have already been set up with friends and family. Most of the time, though, we will just decide on the spur of a moment what to do and where to go (depending on the weather, of course), and we intend to spend at least one full day just relaxing in the garden that belongs to the cottage, doing NOTHING.
For the next 1 1/2 weeks, I won't have many - if any - occasions for visiting blogland. But you can be sure that I will be back and catch up with your blogs soon after our return - and you can brace yourselves for a series of posts about Yorkshire.

Bon Voyage! I wish you a wonderful restful and satisfying vacation with your sister!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kristi! I am sure we will be having just that :-)
DeleteHave a lovely journey, best wishes!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteMy dear daughters,
ReplyDeletehave a super journey without any obstacles and a wonderful time together and with the Yorkshire-family!
XOX for all
Dear Mum,
DeleteThank you! We'll be in touch when we've landed so that you know we have arrived safely.
Hugs & kisses!
I followed your link. The cottage looked like images I've always had of English cottages in my mind- so charming and cozy. How wonderful to share this with your sister. Safe travels are wished for the both of you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place, and we were so glad to get it for 11 days this time. Thank you for your kind wishes!
DeleteWish you a wonderful holiday and will be looking forward to Yorkshire pictures! (still having a special heartstring attached to that part of Britain ever since spending a month there way back in my teens)
ReplyDeleteI know, Monica! Thank you very much!
DeleteYour holidays there are always such fun to read about!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that, thank you! :-)
DeleteI love Yorkshire! Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteYou are clearly a woman of refined taste Mistress Garrood.
DeleteI do, too, and I did, Frances :-)
DeleteHave a lovely holiday in my wonderful county Meike. Sorry you are not going to be in South Yorkshire this time round. I recognised the High Bradfield road straightaway. I hope the weather remains kind for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Neil. I actually was in Sprotbrough and Thurnscoe last Sunday, but only for the one day, to attend our family gathering and visit my aunt and uncle.
DeleteThe weather was good most of the time, except for one really rainy day Tuesday a week ago. I think it was the best holiday I ever had (although I think I say that every year when I come home from Yorkshire).
Have fun in Italy!
ReplyDeleteErm... not Italy this year... Yorkshire is in England :-)
