We did just as you have said- rented a holiday cottage onthe High Street in Askrigg and pretended that we lived in this wonderful place for a week. Met a lovely lady called Mary who lived with her invalid husband across the road, ate out at the wonderful pub just across the road too where they played quoits out the back and walked through fields of buttercups from Keld to Muker.<br />We'll never forget it and hope one day we can return. So different from our hot and sunny home in Queensland.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-71345764759175748032013-08-01T11:57:09.768-07:002013-08-01T11:57:09.768-07:00I feel the same way Pat!I feel the same way Pat!Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-10887680971895699072013-08-01T08:16:40.286-07:002013-08-01T08:16:40.286-07:00I love the countryside and have been lucky enough ...I love the countryside and have been lucky enough to live in or near it all my life, so the seaside is a treat for me. I have often felt sorry for locals when, as a holiday maker, I have added to the queue in their shops and cluttered up their pavements. However, invariably the attitude has been one of welcome and pleasure that we have chosen to spend time and money in their part of the world. We have had some lovely holiday cottages and the standard keeps rising.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-88378930124522430232013-08-01T07:29:06.788-07:002013-08-01T07:29:06.788-07:00We do holiday cottages too.

We use to do 'olde worlde' places until one year I read the description of the '18th century farm worker's cottage, nestling next to the village church' and realised that it described our home exactly!<br /><br />Now we go for more modern places. And of course I insist on a sea view - something we <b>don't</b> have at home!MorningAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719744167307369768noreply@blogger.com
