Sep. 30th, 2026 10:22 pmOut twice in a week to make the most of my leave. Turned out nice again too (although I had my doubts, even as I set off)
I could have sworn I'd been before, but if I had, I didn't remember anything about it. Not even how close it was to my normal route to Keighley for tribal (not signposted from the dual carriageway, which surprised me)
Quite a small property (I didn't explore how far the gardens/barns went this time), but right by a lake/pond (I can't see a body of water now, especially at a NT property without thinking 'wonder if they'd open it for swimming?') and so pretty in the sun. Very old house, that has survived first by luck, and then by the determined efforts of a pair of local brothers.
Amazing collection of stumpwork embroidery in the main bedroom - although I wish the volunteer had known more, apparently embroidery groups come specifically to see it, and at night the pictures have special covers to tell the fire brigade to save these things first!
Disappointing second hand book shop. Lovely toastie, and then, horror of horrors, they ran out of clotted cream for the scones! In a NT property!
Also no bookmarks :( but I did get a pin badge at least.
