Thursday 2nd - Thursday 9th November 2017

A week of glorious weather in Yorkshire.
Another good holiday staying with Margaret and Paul, so lucky again with the weather. The firework party with the family was another success, really enjoyed the singing around the 🔥 as a final ending to decades of this family gathering. It was agreed this would be the last, so pleased William and Elizabeth managed to find the time to attend from their busy University timetable. We have been visiting this same week since the early seventies. Thank you Margaret and Paul.
              Enjoyed visits to Adel Dam at Breary Marsh nature reserve, Golden Acre, Harlow Carr and Malhamdale. Weather just perfect. Highlight was the sighting of a kingfisher at Adel Dam, sat on a branch for a good 30 minutes allowing for some great photographs.
Have a job on my hands now uploading and sorting thousands of trail camera images not forgetting the holiday photographs of course.
Will be posting images during the next few days.
                We were lucky this holiday actually took place after an horrendous experience on the M1 on the trip up. Losing all power in an instant on a smart motorway is no joke. The car had a serious fault connected to the hybrid technology. The deal I have with the AA includes a replacement vehicle in such instances. The replacement vehicle turned out to be an automatic 8 seater mini coach! As you can imagine our car was full of holiday gear which had to be transferred of course. This was a situation I definitely do not wish to have repeated and certainly am 100% against smart motorways.
