Are the meadow flowers out in Swaledale yet ? I’ll have a drive up there next week if so.
Very busy, as expected, today in Settle. Great weather for a ride out...market square taken over by bikers, spending their ££ on fish n chips, drinks and food at various cafes. Good for local business. The usual locals moaning about not being able to get ‘their’ parking space to shop in the Coop and elsewhere.
Apart from the occasional very loud exhaust noise travelling along Upper Ribblesdale I think it great that people want to visit a place where I live. That’s my rationale. Certain local inbreeds and retirees disagree.
I do my best to social distance....and support local business....5 visits to my local pubs since last Saturday. Mid/late afternoon, sometimes into the evening, drinking with friends. As soon as it gets busy we go home. Hand sanitise on entry, fresh glass each pint, no sharing of nuts & crisps, no spitting or coughing, no face masks or Perspex screens. Wash your hands after every pee.
Now checking to see if any cheap trips to warmer climes late July. The C Blanca in late September is a long way away !
