We're Not Sure About the Natives

So did the eagle eyed among our readers spot the bottle of red wine warming in front of the log burner? It proved a great aid to evening relaxation and we had worked hard during the day to earn it!

So what else happened on our course? We had some interesting tips on how to defend ourselves from a fierce sheep. You might think this sounds a bit strange but we have the evidence to show it was necessary ...


We were practising our kung fu style defensive kicks on quite a steep and icy road, so we had to take care that we were sure pawed, otherwise we might have slipped all the way back down the hill to the village we'd set out from. Mind you, provided we slid faster than the pursuing lamb could run, we would have been o.k.

The same day we had evidence of more strange strains of well known animals in Yorkshire. We were quite taken aback by this sign ...


We felt rather sorry for the local dogs who are not allowed the right to roam on territory dedicated to them. We were beginning to understand the phrase we'd heard a few times, that 'it's tough up north'.

Lots of love, George, Yorkie & Co xxx
