A couple of
weeks ago we packed our bags, loaded up the car, dusted down the road map (I
still love maps and loathe Satnavs) and headed for the hills – or to be more
specific the Yorkshire Moors.
It was good
to take a break from the slow process of renovating the glorified shed and to
stay somewhere that had bedroom walls, a decent bathroom and a proper kitchen,
even though the accommodation was a (quite grand) static caravan.
At the
shed, we’re surrounded by countryside, wildlife, open views and a quiet rural
existence. So did we head for a vibrant city location? Or did we choose an
exotic beach destination? Or maybe even an all-action holiday complex? Of
course we didn’t. We chose a caravan park surrounded by countryside, wildlife
(well supposedly, but I saw less than at home), open views and a quiet rural
existence (apart from the nearby railway track). It seems that we love our
environment so much, that even on holiday we swap it for something very
similar, just in a slightly different place.
Of course,
we ventured into the City of York, making use of the excellent, great value
park and ride system and visited an old favourite place of ours – Whitby. We
even had a theme park day, but also enjoyed peaceful countryside picnics and
visited a couple of Yorkshire’s abbey ruins. You’ll be able to read more about
those visits at www.shoppersjoy.blogspot.co.uk
over the coming weeks.
But now
we’re back, and it’s time to turn our thoughts back to the task in hand. Our
progress has been a little hampered by an injury sustained by hubby whilst away
(more of that to come on Shoppers’ Joy too) but we are making fresh plans,
which we hope will soon bear fruit.
In the
meantime, it’s back to ‘shed’ living surrounded by countryside, wildlife, open
views and a quiet rural existence... Have we ever been away?
