Ruddy Americans. Always the curve ball.
Had a very pleasant day today pottering around the north end of the Yorshire Dales. There are still many reminders of Le Tour such as bikes on walls, bunting and what have you.
We paid a visit to Castle Bolton a charming little village with an .... erm ..... castle. Very interesting, mostly ruins but one tower has been carefully preserved as Mary Queen of Scots stayed there. It is full of sense of history it was quite eerie walking up the dark spiral staircase to her bedchamber. It was huge, quite light and airy, but you still couldn't help get the feeling, almost an awareness that ......... she could have built a hell of a model railway if she had wanted to.
