Burrs Country Park, Bury

We arrived safely yesterday at Bury. The wind on the M62 was interesting to say the least, on our journey from York. We are here in Lancs visiting family & friends for the next two weeks!

On the road again

Just leaving York en-route to Burrs Country Park, Bury. Hope this wind dies down over the M62 - Saddleworth!

Visited York today

We went into the city of York today. Since we got up early we were in York for about 9am, it was really quiet & peaceful. Shame there were no pub open at that time for Carl to sample more beer!

On the road again

Just left Sewerby en-route to York, where we will stay 3 nights!

Skipsea Sands

Yesterday we all had a lovely walk on Skipsea sands. The weather was gorgeous as you can tell from the photo. Afterwards we went to Carl's Mum & Dads for a roast chicken dinner - which was yummy.

Today - Saturday Times Newspaper

Carl features in today's Saturday Times Newspaper in the travel section page 31. A Times reporter stayed at Black horse farm last December and he has now published the article!

A proper pub

Later this morning we are heading off to Beverley, East Yorkshire, where we will be frequenting a proper old fashioned traditional pub called Nellies ( aka The White Horse ). It has lots of small rooms, all with gas lamp lighting, flag floors and inglenook fireplaces. Sounds great doesn't it - the best thing is that the beer is less than £2.00 / pint, now that certainly is rarer than a snow leopard!!!

Soon to arrive in Sewerby

After having spent 3 lovely relaxing nights at Clumber Park, we left there this morning en-route in Sewerby, East Yorkshire. We will be visiting family & just relaxing- hopefully have a few walks on the beach too. Jake will meet lots of new people & new friends, namely: Flick, Jack & Max, who are all black Labradors!

On the road again!

That's it - we're leaving Folkestone en-route to Clumber park today. The start of our holiday is finally here!

Jake has his own blog

Just in case you hadn't noticed Jake now has his own blog. You can find the link on the top right hand side of our blog just under the title description.
