I've seen Fire and I've seen Rain
... br> I've seen Sunny Days....
Yesterday we did a final tour of the Dales, which is when we saw the Lonely House. Quite a lot of sunny spells with just a few sprinkles of rain.

Catching up
I am sure I wrote an entry recently but it seems not so this is a bit of a catch up.
Since we arrived here we have been to a few places. Richmond is a small town about 6 miles away from us and is worth a visit. We have been 3 times but only for short visits. Went to Darlington to see the rail museum which was closed the first time but went back yesterday and had a look around. ...
