Haverwitz walk, Earth Day and Blackbirds...

Another Day in Lockdown, in the North of England...

Well, we've been gardening, attempting to get a Tesco supermarket food delivery selection of slots and feeding the resident blackbird.  All that amongst walking, bike riding and at my 'desk' or rather my mums dining room table.  Waiting now for a slimming world dinner and veg.  Hoping that one day there will be a takeaway Chicken Korma with rice, naan bread and bombay aloo! Here's hoping that they'll let me and them have it one evening! 

These are the photos of our latest walk around our town through Haverwitz Farm, viewing the village of Crayke from the top then following Haverwitz beck to the alotments and walk 1 of the local tourist office walk leaflets.

The current excitement consists of a Argos shop, Tescos grocery shopping, (excited as we get one coming tomorrow!) picking up the mail and waiting for the milk man to arrive before wiping everything with antibacterial wipes or cleaning stuff that we can find.  We've painted the summer house (me being at my mums that is), gardened, chopped the silver birch down (which I definately protested at poor thing!).  As well as odd meetings with friends, family etc on Zoom, facebook and sometimes jitzi. 

Lets hope they find a vaccine soon and this whole pandemic ends, also hoping that the death toll for the Coronavirus (hating that more word/name more and more now as the year goes on).  Far too many people died.

Until next time, 

Blessings and stay safe and well, From Rae. x

Old Telephone kindness hits Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

With all that is happening in the world right now and with others struggling out there in a place called Muthill near Crieff in Perthshire has a old red phone box that has been turned into a "village larder" to help out anyone who might need it or who is struggling  People donate what they can then. Then people hopefully will take what they’re really running out of. Let’s hope it’s not too Much. Way to go Scotland. 👏🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Faith in the the posties

Just seen this that was posted on posties and naughts and crosses, where people mainly with kiddies. On Facebook Ms V Mac recently posted that she had recieved this note 📝 from their posts. Got to love how kindness works. ☺️🙏 Since then a few posties all over have done little random acts. 

In this time, stay safe and well people. Blessings Rae. 

Lockdown Teds

There’s a family that have been rather busy during each day of lock down here in the North of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. The Richardson’s from my town up here have been putting their teddy bears 🧸 out each day for passers by to cheer them up. They’ve even been on there local radio station. BBC York. Here are the past and the current one today is Elvis! Long live King Richardson Ted! They even had a Boris the pm Ted on a bike. I try and go everyday to get a photo for myself. 

Days 1 & 2 of Positives a Day

So I’ve been taking to Facebook, Instagram and What’s App with sending my contacts and friends positive blessings, messages and photos. Friends that I’ve got all around the world. And now hope to do it on here on my blog to until things be back to normal. People keep sending me things in to put on so here are the photos so far. For you to enjoy. 🥰

The need to go out... then there's the woods!

Stuck inside?! 

Hello Blog readers!  Nope, I've not got the current virus thats going under the names of Corona Virus or CORVID-19... despite chatting with a friend about why on earth it's called that, the last one being was it officially diagnosed and the first case last year hence the 19?? Why are all the loo rolls, kitchen roll etc running out and no one getting anymore in, why are people getting angry on social media about people panic buying, why are they even panic buying? Ok, so I'm borderline Autistic, have dyslexia and dyspraxia along with ADHD.  That's not going to stop my love of blogging and wont hopefully stop you reading my blog posts.  But it also hopefully won't make me more acceptable to the virus! I've known a few people including my own father having to isolate himself and stay inside in risk of getting the blasted thing!!  

It's all getting to confusing for words for my liking, i'm not sure what to do or think, I don't know about anyone else!! Apologies if theres some spelling errors in the message.  Just wanting to put a blog across and wondered what people thought...

Stay safe and well readers,

Sutton Bank and the White Horse - Kilburn and Sutton-under-whitestone-cliff, North Yorkshire

Sutton Bank & The White Horse 

Walking Trip and Short Review

Wednesday 4th March 2020

We parked in the Yorkshire Gliding Club customer car park and walked up to the Gliding clubs little cafe which is open from 9:30 and stops serving food about 2pm weekdays. A good view while watching the gliders taking off and landing, although there didn't seem to be many today, not sure if it was the weather conditions, which weren't too bad today then they have been.  I felt it was quite mild for the time of year coming up to Springtime.  The daffodils and some other spring time flowers out already while we drove up to the Gliding place.  Saw 3 or 4 gliders and that seemed to be it for today, although they were doing some maintanance work it seemed on some of them in the base. 

You can have flights and go up in a Glider or Microlite. A sheet that we read whilst there mentioned for £25.00 you could try out a simulator before booking on a real flight to see if you liked it or not which is good for the people that might be interested.   

The website for the YGC is: https://www.ygc.co.uk/  

If anyone is ever interested in having a look at what they offer.  

Myself, my mum and step dad go up for walks up there and there are also some Geocaches (www.geocaching.com) done by the geocachers, islaynut and melandfreddie17.  Who I've had the honour of meeting myself.  Lovely people.  

Whilst going back to the car we decided to go for the nearest geocache which was from the cacher islaynut and came across a family of 3 deer walking across the road up towards the gliding centre.  Mrs Harp had to get out and try and get a photo, which went rather well but might be a bit blurry here are some photos.
