In Flanders fields.....photo heavy by mistake

This is an upside down post!!

You need to start a the bottom...I forget that blogger loads things back to front and the story should start with the yellow flowers and not the collapsing cartwheel!! oh well if Georgia can go wrong when upside down then so can I!!

The field that started it..........with only a few yellow flowers left at the edges now:(

I spied these fields full of rape flowers and knew that there was public access beside them, unfortunately when I returned with my camera 3 weeks later the flowers have nearly finished although you wouldn't know that by these photos because we focused on the last remaining yellow patch!

Check out the Blue Sky!!! No photoshop here!!

Then she did a few poses on the grass......

Until she got bored and started doing handstands......

Pickering Railway part 1 (photo heavy)

We are back from our wee holiday and I have hundreds of photos to share with you...especially lots of train ones for Dad!!
Our Caravan was tucked away behind some beautiful holiday cottages it was so private Ben could scream his head off and not disturb the neighbours....which he did frequently because he was quite poorly the whole time we were away. He had a large blister/ulcer on his tounge and all sorts of other smelly problems!!










The fish pond was next to the caravan and then the trampoline so we really were well away from the others! The Village is called Wrelton and is 2 miles from Pickering and is soooo pretty we just couldn't get over how stunning it was.........lovely evening walks and treasures around every corner.... These tumbling steps were covered in fairies and tiny cottages!! Georgia made a wish every day!!

The phone box caught curious George's attention and we discovered at least 3 old post boxes too...some tucked way in peoples gardens as ornaments so we unfortunatley couldn't get any fab photos of them.

Saturday we were up early to get to Pickering Station and we only just made it ...Goathland was rainy and dull and we didn't hang around long!!

On our hasty return the weather brightened up nicely so we walked up the steep hill to Pickering Castle and after looking around had our lunch at the picnic tables there.

Ben stayed asleep the whole time becuase he was exhausted from his 48 minutes of screaming on the return train!! I stayed in the guards van with him frimly strapped in the pushchair....I didn't mind because I got the BEST views from my window as I could pull it all the way down and hang my head out with the camera!!! "Oh yes" that bought back some childhood memories!!

Peace and quiet at last.......poor baby!!...must have been the Calpol he had on the train!!

Thats all for now as these photos are taking ages to load so I'll do some more later!!

Love Ruth and family xxx

From happy bunny to a poorly baby in only a few days.........yup Ben is poorly with D & V...oh bless. He took himself off for a nap this afternoon which he NEVER does and was so ill he crashed out on the loung floor......lets hoope he feels better before Friday as we are off to the caravan in Pickering for the weekend.


Poor little lamb it brought real tears to my eyes seeing him like this...... xxx
