In Between Days.

Tuesday.

Up around 8am. Not a great night's sleep, My first night away from home is never brilliant. But compounded by the bed. Let me explain. Twin beds, not a problem, but they aren't standard size singles are very narrow, and I had to check myself for turning over in case I fell out, I woke Kev once because he nearly did. 

Anyway, we got up to the rain lashing down so heavy we doubted we could venture far. By 9am, it had stopped, the wind got up and it was chilly. Change of plan, instead, jeans and sweatshirt were what I chose to wear. We walked from our hotel to the shopping centre and found TK, we found The Count picture from my 'wanted' list. We had all but given up on finding him. There he was hanging around on a bottom shelf. I snatched him up and a candle I'd been looking for, and we went to the checkout triumphant at locating one after months of searching, and friends searching on our behalf ( thank you Holly and Boo!) 

Now just the small matter of getting him home! 

We were meeting Trish and her friend later and after a Mcmuffin breakfast and a coffee in Costa we decided to give finding Art from the Heart shop a go. We had started out there, when Trish let us know they were on their way. A quick re-route was needed and we met up with them at the bus station. We went in Caffe Nero and preceded our catch up. Lovely to see Trish, and meet Aneria, the time soon passed and we parted company. We then walked to the Winter Gardens pub for a late lunch, early tea. 

That done we made our weary way back to the hotel. Having done over 10,000 steps, which is a lot for me, even with lots of rests, I was done in. We got comfy in the room, and I had a bit of a doze. 

We had a lovely evening relaxing and recovering from our days excursions. 

I am very much impressed with Harrogate and will be coming back. Its great for a short break. Just need a couple of visits to get more done. The architecture is stunning, the countryside gorgeous. And still so much left to do.
