It was a perfect day for 'chocolate box' pictures at Bolton Abbey when I went for a stroll there with a friend. Blue skies, fluffy clouds, a slow-flowing river reflecting the sky... Lots to like, though the photos wouldn't win any prizes in a competition. The stepping stones seem to have been reordered a bit since the winter, so that the big gaps have been lessened. I still wouldn't be trusting myself to hop over them!
We had lunch in the Tea Cottage, overlooking the view. There was a cool wind but it was just about warm enough to sit out. In recent times, my usual coffee/lunch spot at the Cavendish Pavilion seems to have gone downhill a bit, with more of it self-service (and I don't much like coffee out of those machines) or a long queue for a barista coffee because they are clearly short-staffed. So we walked from the Cavendish car park to the Priory and the Tea Cottage in the village, which made a change anyway.
There are nice views on the way back too, though it clouded over quite suddenly.
Beautiful Yorkshire, I’ll be back in a month
