A Quick Visit to Harrogate

I haven't done much on my blog during the last ten days or so, but I have had a request from Dean & Ros to "keep up the blog"

So here goes...........

Since we got back from our holidays, Dot has had two pictures she wanted framing. One of them is a poster she got from Betty's.

Last week we took the poster in to a picture framing shop in Harrogate, and it was ready to collect today.

On the way to Harrogate we pass a building called "The Blue Barn", which supplies all kinds of animal and bird food. During the years we have bought cat food, rabbit food, chinchilla food, and dog food from them. As it is getting nearer to the season of Winter we decided that we would stock up on our wild bird seed. Initially we purchased a 5 Kg bag of seed and ten fat balls, although the man who served us said I have put twelve balls in because the firm that used to supply us no longer does, and the new supplier produces slightly smaller balls.

Just as we were leaving the shop I noticed that they had larger bags of wild bird seed, so went back and exchanged the 5 kg bag for a larger one.

We then travelled on to Harrogate to collect the framed picture. I parked on a road off the bottom of Montpelier (outside the parking meter zone), whilst Dot popped into Marks and Spencer's food department.

When she got back to the car we pulled up on the Stray and Ruby got a nice walk on the grass there!

Tomorrow I have a Wedding Preparation Morning, when we gather all the couples who have booked a wedding at church during the next six months, and they are taken through the wedding service. The bell ringers and the verger are there, and I usually do a 45 minute session on choosing wedding hymns and wedding music.
