MrFF’s big days out

When not trying to sort out our latest Italian dilemma or joining me in a rant about the situation, MrFF has managed to get out and about this week so I’ll show you a few things he’s been up to.

Tuesday afternoon he decided to walk across the moor to Skipton approximately 10 miles and take the bus home.  En route he collected half a dozen eggs at this lovely farm.

He didn’t have any change and neither did the lady he spoke to, nor indeed did the cat Clive who takes care of the hens and goats.  The lady said he could pay next time he was passing so the following day Wednesday he went off on his new bike and paid his debt, with a little extra by way of interest and a note to say how delicious the eggs had been at breakfast.  He then had a tour round bringing home some delicious pork pies and safely completing 25 miles.

Thursday he was off early to meet with one of his several walking groups.  The 14 mile route had been planned to visit the village of Kettlewell which was in the middle of its annual scarecrow festival.  The village hall was doing a good trade in homemade food so that was the lunch stop and there was plenty to see. It all looked lovely.  

In the afternoon they returned via dramatic Kilnsey Crag where several climbers were in action and fortunate to have a faithful dog to guard their possessions.

Don’t you just love Yorkshire, it never fails to delight even when Italy is doing the complete opposite.  

The photos are all MrFF’s own, you can see more scarecrows Here or visit until Sunday.
