7 April 2026 Harrogate
Another lovely day catching up with friends then a cycle into town. Easter decorations on the shop window below.
This large motorhome arrived on site.
What’s on at the Harrogate Showground.
When cycling into town I spotted this outside the front of Pavillions.
I was also amazed at what I spotted at the back of Pavillions and also further down the road at the campsite.

4 April 2026 Shrewsbury
In to town first thing for coffee one of the costa’s shut ! a walk about.
This town has a lot of crime and there is always a police van parked in town EVERY time I come here. Even the posts are dangerous.
If you are very careful you may spot an old coach and horse.
This is outside a bank probably praying it won’t not shut down !
A washing day again due to moving tomorrow.

Old police station with a Weights and measures office next door a first!
Love the name on this ally wonder how it got it?
The Dun Cow is a prominent figure in British folklore, representing a, mythical,, giant,, cream-colored beast that provided endless milk. Legend states it was driven mad by a witch’s greed, rampaging through Warwickshire before being slain by Guy of Warwick. It is also linked to the founding of Durham and early Irish literature

Decided to have another look at Scrooges grave as it was been cleaned up last time I was here.
But film buffs and literature fans have another reason to stop there: the grave of Ebenezer Scrooge. He may be fictional, his redemptive adventure may be fictional, but his resting place is quite real. Well, sort of.
Scrooge was not dead to begin with. Only for 40 years has the grave been delighting unsuspecting visitors who stumble across it.
That’s because the engraved name did not appear until a 1984 movie adaption of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, starring George C Scott. As for the gravestone itself, that had been in the churchyard for hundreds of years, according to locals.
St Chad’s Church in Shrewsbury is in its own right a fixture on the town’s tourist trail.
If you ever visit here and loose your bearings a good place to get them back Ha Ha!
