Chris had ordered some pallet forks for the tractor from a firm just north of Sedbergh. As the sheep cake is all arriving on tuesday we thought today would be a good day to go and collect them.
The proposal to me was a drive in the country and a lovely lunch. Ill come back to that!
Anyway as we had a sharp frost last night the day was beautiful and bright and the scenery was amazing. The Howgills looked beautiful.
As we were driving back we saw quite a sight,after driving past fields of sheep, hundreds and hundreds of them in fact, we had a great surprise when we saw this wonderful field of Alpacas. They arent all on the pic but there must have been 30 or 40. Not something you see every day!
Back to lunch. Just before setting off the idea of a 'lovely lunch' had somehow become Fish and Chips in the LandRover. I wasnt really impressed but hey ho!!. We drove through Sedbergh but couldnt see one, we drove through Settle, saw the chippy but no where to park, so we trundled on. Hellifield, oh another F &C shop, but it was closed, Gargrave nothing but tea shops. Even the advertised 'food in next lay-by' failed to materialise.
By now I was starting to get a bit miffed at the thought of getting home and having to start making lunch when the promise has been a lovely one out somewhere. Chris was in his farming overalls so there was no way I was taking him into a pub or cafe!! Skipton was fast approaching, and after that the next stop would be Scaife Hall when Oh what joy to behold, a Burger King!!
Burger King it was then. A picnic in the Land Rover, certainly not fine dining but at least I didnt have to make it!!!
