Time to farewell our lovely hosts the McKay-McGuires. Thanks to Caitlin for babysitting last night so that Veronica, Bill, Greg and I could walk to the pub in the next village for a fine feed (finished with yummy 'rhubarb fool' for me)
Morna, John and Caitlin now
(Morna and John were at school with Elena and Seamus in 2007 and 2008)
But first we had to reunite the old Curtin Primary trio (Morna, Elena and Annabel) via skype
Elena, Tiffen (yes, a Border Terrier) and Morna
(Elena avoiding another kiss from Tiffen)
Then off to the Yorkshire Wolds we did head
Gallery of a wildlife artist (Robert Fuller) we stumbled upon
... and he has a Border Terrier! She's called Tink
About to walk the Wolds Way
I like the colour of her hair
So cute
... she doesn't think we're cute though
Elena dancing the Wolds
Elena sitting the Wolds
Elena skipping the Wolds
Not a bad little farmhouse
Great roofs
Fields of limestone
We saw loads of pheasants but they are hard to photograph
Then we left the Wolds and headed for Hull via Beverley (Englands most livable village)
Where the cows have a very good life
This is the main drag into Beverley and it is surrounded by a community golf course, parkland and roaming cattle. There were people and cows everwhere having a lovely time!
This doesn't capture the charm of the village centre - England's most beautiful church, medieval gates and old tudor buildings
... the not so charming side of Beverley!
Then off to, the far from charming, industrial city of Hull to board our ferry
Farewell UK
