24th June 2017 – Day off with the wife

Well, today we were going to go to York as we won a day pass to ??? garden. But when we got up the weather was not supposed to be good. We decide to save the day pass for a better day. It took us a while to decide on what we were going to do but we settled on having a look over to Paddock Farm, which is near to Croft circuit. Not too far from home yet I have never been there.

It is a garden centre with a tea room, but they have a water garden and it was lovely, lots of different mini gardens where you can sit. If its a nice day it made for a very pleasant place to visit. We had lunch in the tea room and this also was very good and great value. I will definitely be going back there.

After leaving here we headed towards Richmond, stopping in Scorton to take some pictures of flowers, as you do. It was a lovely mild day and the scenery around there was great. The house we parked next to was quite big and would be a lovely place to live with that green opposite. I suggested to Tracy to knock on the door and ask if they would like to give us their house but she didn’t think it would be a good idea…..

Onward we went. This time we actually went to Richmond and had a walk round the town centre, I had an Ice cream and a look in the second hand bookshop that’s there. I bought Eric Idle – The road to Mars. An AI android studying the twentieth century comedy…. sounds good 🙂

From there we drove the long way home though Leyburn and Bedale. All in all it was a good day.
