Hawes and Cricket

So we were all quite tired today - it's been a busy week.  We had a lie in, and a quiet morning before heading towards Hawes at Tom's request.  We thought instead of doing the Ribblehead walk we would go and visit the red squirrels in Snaizeholme.  We parked at the bottom and headed up with monkey nuts in our pockets.  We didn't have as much luck as previous visits, we saw about 5 all together, but none at close quarters, we didn't manage to feed them our monkey nuts but we left some behind for them to find.

We then headed to Wensleydale Creamery for lunch - this was Tom's request.  We sat outside in the heat.  I had a new 'Buddha Bowl' - with curried chick peas, kale, beetroot, carrot and pearls of tasty cheese whilst the boys had toasted sandwiches: steak and blue cheese for Matt and macaroni cheese for Tom - yep macaroni cheese in a toasty.  Think Tom enjoyed it, but when we asked him to eat his salad he slowed down and took an age to finish it up.  I LOVED my Buddha bowl and will be back to have it again.

We then went for a quick wander in Hawes, and then to Semerwater - a lake over the hill from Hawes.  A nice location, but very muddy and slimy and very stony making it hard to access with the footwear we had with us.  Would be a good place for a dingy/ canoe.

Then back to Ingleton for late afternoon, wash the car, have a rest, a cupboard tea, I had to finish a cake and then we headed back to the field for All Stars and to get bitten to death by the midges.  Still hot and humid.

We then all went to bed early, the heat and humidity and activity has made us all tired!
