It being the school holidays, and Garry & Rachel being in Dubai, we have the grandchildren for a few days, then they visit their other grandparents for the remainder of the week.
Yesteday they were taken to the Jorvik Viking Centre.
Today it was the trip up to Settle and a visit to the Naked Man Cafe, where both Mollie and Tom enjoyed a "Full Monty"
Above is a photo of Tom before he devoured his Gingerbread Man!
Here is Mollie about to attack her "Meringue" before attacking her "Full Monty"
We came across this replica "State Coach" outside a shop called "The House That Jack Built"
WE then moved on to Austwick, and the lane which Mollie and Tom call "The Rabbit Walk." There was plenty of evidence that Spring had Sprung. These Bluebells were in full bloom.
There were lots of sheep and lambs in the surrounding fields, and this cheeky little fellow was using his mother as a prop to get a better look a me taking his photograph!
A little further up the lane we came across this amazing fungus, which was growing from the base of a tree root.
This is the lower end of the lane.
There was plenty of blossom out on the trees too!
After walking up the lane we stopped for a delicious meal at the Gamecock.
We then took a walk down to the little stream which flows under the old clapper bridge (which is called Flascoe Bridge.) It took Ruby about 2 seconds to decide that the water looked very inviting, and she was soon retrieving a large stick which Tom was throwing into the stream for her. It was actually deep enough for her to swim in.
This is Tom about to launch himself on to the swing,
and here is Mollie having a swing.
Having jumped in and swum about in the stream lots of times, Ruby decided that it would be nice to have a rest on the bank and dry out in the sun. Here she is having a gnaw at her stick.
Tom found this ladybird, which finished up on Dot's arm!
