Will definitely return to Fountains Abbey in the Spring though!National Trust Sconeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097903022761280477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954034038612600052.post-43403219697843000582015-11-29T02:31:00.277-08:002015-11-29T02:31:00.277-08:00One of our fave places - so glad you liked it :). ...One of our fave places - so glad you liked it :). But I can maybe help with the weather app issues and a tip for anyone else visiting Yorkshire: the sheltered city of York has its own weird little micro climate that rarely has much to do with what's going on in the rest of North Yorkshire, so its weather forecast won't give much clue as to what you'll get 30 miles away and over a few hills - indeed it will just tease you with what you might have had if you had not ventured out into the countryside. (Having said that, the weather was pretty miserable here in York yesterday too - though not as bad as you had it. I think the grimness you had is reaching us today :(. *girds loins in thermals ready to face going out*)Jane Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101022484621012868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954034038612600052.post-30087011296816451482015-11-28T21:21:24.907-08:002015-11-28T21:21:24.907-08:00Sorry you had the elements to contend with and muc...Sorry you had the elements to contend with and much sogginess,but delighted to hear of your success elsewhere! Scone sounds delish and hopefully one day I'll get there despite an aborted 4 days in York earlier this year .... Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.com
