Arrived at Thorney Barn where we had a beautiful meal prepared for our arrival which we enjoyed at a leisurely pace in our room - note the bottle of Chateuneuf-du-Pape... The accommodations here were truly beautiful with lovely country views from our room window.
We've visited Hawes before and really enjoy it, this waterfall is right in the middle of town just as you go across a wee bridge it's so picturesque. We made a purchase in the little Cheese Shop (probably from the Monty Python skit) and have been enjoying it with a hot chutney ever since. Once again the sun was shining in Hawes - and at times we've had to strip off, not entirely though I don't think that would be allowed - not in Jolly Olde England - pity!
Although not scheduled, we're at the CB Inn tonight. What a treat as we just love this hotel - it's one of our favourites. The food is to die for and the scenery out and about is spectacular - only drawback no internet or cell phone service! I guess that can be regarded as a plus or minus depending on your situation - it didn't do much for our Blog, but we certainly enjoyed the relaxing, laid back pace and because we couldn't 'connect' we didn't - simple! In the middle picture underneath you can see the water right in the middle of the road that you have to drive through (from the James Herriot series All Creatures Great and Small). It's so nice to be able to revisit some of these favourite corners of the world - we sure are counting our blessings every day (especially the sunny ones)!
Reeth is just 5 miles from the CB Inn and a fantastic little village. It has five pubs and one of them is looking for landlords...... possibilities if I can talk Ron into it. What a life that would be, 'course we'd be drinking the profits so I might need to rethink that one. This is one of the places that has a fantastic town square with pretty little shops and pubs all around it - ideal really.
