Bringing things up to date :o)

Only just realised I hadn't updated this since early December, so there are a few more Wetherspoon's to be added to the list.  We've been trying to give Kitty a run out every other Sunday to keep her in good order so we've teamed this with popping into a Wetherspoon's along the way for a quick cuppa :o)

From December 2014 - March 2015:



These two photos are of us outside The City and County in Goole - we really liked the angle of the first but couldn't get the name in so had to take the second one too!


The Giant Bellflower, Selby.  This one was full of botanical prints and other vintage imagery - really pretty :o)



Then three in Doncaster, The Red Lion, The Old Angel and The Gate House.  Apologies for the poor photo of The Red Lion, it was really hard to get the right angle.


The White Horse, Brigg



The Punchbowl and The Posterngate, both in York.


The Crown Inn, Knaresborough - where we spotted this amazing Green Man, by Tommy Craggs Treesculpting.  Had a truly lovely day in Knaresborough, a beautiful town that I probably would have bypassed had it not been for our little challenge!


Harrogate, Winter Gardens


The Devonshire, Skipton

We did manage to get a whole week away at the end of March, and we travelled to the Lakes and then over towards Middlesborough (as I had another craft workshop!) and these are the one's we managed to clock up during the week.




These two were in the Lakes, Cumbria - The Miles Thompson, Kendal and the Henry Bessemer in Workington.

We really enjoyed the Lake District, the scenery was amazing and we visited Dove Cottage (Wordsworth) and Castlerigg stone circle.  Then on to North Yorkshire via the Dales.




The Ralph Fitz Randall, Richmond - a morning stop for a lovely hot drink following waking up to a blanket of snow - at the end of March!!


The Stanley Jefferson, Bishop Auckland
(in respect of Stan Laurel who grew up there)
Another lovely town that we probably would not have visited.




The Grand Electric Hall, Spennymoor




The Tanner's Hall and The William Stead in Darlington


The Plimsoll Line, Redcar - we found an amazing chip shop here - Oliver's - so tasty!!


The Three Tuns, Thirsk (home of the James Herriot visitor centre)


The Angel Hotel, Whitby (my birthplace :o)  )




This is what I created on the workshop, guided by the wonderful Andy Skinner.  With the travel theme on it, it is now the new mirror in Kitty :o)

Cheers for now,
Phil & Stefanie :o)

(Wetherspoons count 26 + 21 = 47)
