Yesterday, I finally got to begin my leave in Harrogate. It is great to be back here again after a mere 10 year absence. I was concerned that my congestion may be an issue for me flying or visiting, but so far it has just been a pain - not a real hindrance.
After breakfast this morning Madre, the Princess and I went to Darley to pick up Auntie Marion - Madre's 95 year old aunt. We took her into Pately Bridge to get fish and chips then out to Two Stoops to enjoy just being outside for a little while. After fish and chips we came back into Darley to stop and get some fresh eggs at a local farmhouse. The thought of purchasing eggs at a grocery store in this neck of the woods is an anathema. The farmer and his wife indicated to Madre that they only had 6 hen eggs left, but they would cut a little on the price for 6 hen and 6 pullet eggs (pullet eggs are from hens in their first year of laying and are a bit more slight in size than traditional hen eggs). When Madre indicated to the farmer and his wife that we were toting around her Aunt Marion they were all excited and simply had to come out to speak to her - Marion is a bit of a celebrity in the community as would be anyone who had achieved 95 years young.
Pictures of all this will soon follow.
