St Swithin's Day

Sunday 15th July the sun is shining and we have clear blue skies. Is this really happening after all the rain the country has been experiencing. Yes- hip hip hooray. We have had the disappointment of the Great Yorkshire Show and the CLA Game Fair being cancelled, but hay ho things are on the upturn. It is St Swithin's Day. Whatever the weather we have today we should be having for the next 40 days. Jack was looking out of the window at day break to see what was happening and so far we havent been let down. Guests have already gone off for a walk .Some in the directions of Ampleforth .others towards Byland Abbey and Coxwold. No doubt they will be stopping off en route for a roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding lunch.
