Haygarths in Deepdale - making the best of a wet day

Today the rugby was cancelled because of the wet weather so we changed plans and picked up Grandma at short notice and drove a circuit of Barbondale, Dentdale and Deepdale in the rain and sleet. I forgot how beautiful Deepdale was, one of my favorite spots I think rediscovered It was a joy to have fun in the torrents and turn the potential misery into a day of fun - we stopped and witnessed waterfalls and went for a jump atround in the muddy puddles. Whernside in the snow looked particulatrly awesome. More pics here - and great fun to have Gran and Grandma together.

3 cousins bike racing

Today Helen and I took Matt and Angus to join their cousin Lily in a cyclo cross race organized by Uncle Dave at Helmshore. It was a cold November morning but all 3 of them 'got their fingers out' and had some muddy fun (click here for loads of piccies). After we took cousin Lils to Tesco for a 4-cousinly lunch whilst Mum and Dad organized the bike race. Anne is away this weekend on a girlie weekend in Stratford.

Helen's "sore joke"?

Last week Helen told Anne that she had a "sore joke" whilst meaning a sore throat! Glad to say she is better now. Sweetie.
