Today on my walks I ended up in the village of Addingham. A small prosperous place with a shop, several pubs and plenty of traditional cottages and posh new housing estates.
Cottages with what looks like a traditional telephone box.
But it is in fact one of the new free libraries that are springing up. Where you can take a book and leave your own books
The village church of course.
One of the people I spoke with.
Parks and cottages.
On the way home on this humid day, I took a bus which was full of people and it stank like a public toilet.
Today was another warm humid day. So I went out again. This time in the opposite direction.
I got of the bus in the village of Harewood and went exploring following a public footpath.
Found a small castle ruins in the woods.
Following more paths, I found myself lost as the paths ended in dead ends.
I came across a family having a picnic and asked for help. The children showed me the path out of the woods.
On the main road I came across another phone box converted to different use.
I went to the local pub to use their facilities but unfortunately there was a notice on the main door that toilets are only for use of customers. So back on the bus and I traveled to Harrogate and used the toilets at a modern clean M&S store.
In Harrogate I came across a free walking tour and the group leader invited me to join them. And I spent the next hour following them around, seeing the sights and getting a nice history lesson about the town.
