Amazing views of the Yorkshire Three Peaks from a helicopter for John's birthday - so he got to sit in the Co-pilot's seat! We took a flight with Pennine Pleasure Flights https://www.penninehelicopters.co.uk/from The Craven Arms, Giggleswick. http://craven-arms.co.uk/
Had a brilliant day at the Yorkshire Dales Food & Drink Festival, Funkirk Farm, Skipton.

Tempted to bring home some delicious treats:
Rapeseed oil with garlic and rosemary from Wharfe Valley Farms https://wharfevalleyfarms.co.uk/. Delicious with ciabatta bread or makes your roasties so scrumptious and crunchy!
Kin Toffee+Vodka drink and truffles https://kinvodka.co.uk/ - such a warm caramel liquer and the truffles are sooo smooth!
As we've got such a bumper crop of currants this year - the sun and a gentle steady watering seemed to have worked wonders - I'm tempted to try making some Blackcurrant vinegar and Redcurrant Vodka - I'll let you know how I get on!
It's summer time in Settle so take a stroll round the town to look at all the flower pot creations - see how many you can spot!
Some of our plants are doing well in this lovely Mediterranean like weather!
