WE HAVE ARRIVED!

We had an horrendous journey up to North Yorkshire yesterday in abysmal weather - it was windy and rainy and the spray from passing lorries was just like driving in thick fog, but Mr. HCB did remarkably well.

We stopped at a motorway motel for one night - and the Ritz it was not - in fact, the bathroom was so mucky we didn’t even bother to have a shower - but the cottage we are staying in for the next week is so different - it is absolutely immaculate, so even if it rains all week, we shall be content and warm.

Today’s weather was very different, so it was a pleasant drive the rest of the way up - we are staying near Richmond, so we met our friend, Sue, for lunch at The Fleece, a place she and her friend, Marjorie go to most Sundays and it did not disappoint.  On the way back to the carpark, I saw the sign I have put in as an extra, which amused us both - Mr. HCB being very fond of cricket, as you know.

The main shot is the view from our bedroom window and I was delighted that just outside the window are some PINK geraniums - so a nod to BCAM, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  

I’m sure you all know by now, that if you click on this LINK,  those who cannot afford to pay to have a mammogram, will be able to get one free.

     and my body have been challenged, 
         but make no mistake, 
               my heart is strong and 
                    my resolve to fight 
                         will never be broken.”
