Having a rhubarb and ginger scone and an Americano in Swadford café, Skipton.
If you are ever in Skipton I recommend a visit this café. Scone was large, had a decent amount of both rhubarb and ginger, and was accompanied by a very reasonable amount of jam and Rodda's clotted cream. As well as two pats of butter which seems to be the way it's done in these parts.
I started my visit to Skipton with the unpleasant discovery that the car parks wanted 5.10 GBP for three hours! So drove back along the Keighley road until I found an unrestricted roadside spot. Then I walked to the town hall the long way round along the canal.
@meggie Forecast says it's going to be 29 C this afternoon, I think I'll make sure I'm back in this stone built north facing cottage before then where it will be a bit cooler.
@ninalanyon yes its very hot already here. Im off work today and 7 mins walk to beach. I love those old thick walled stone cottages and rent one every april for a week.
Because I haven't parked in a pre-pay car park I don't have to rush back to my car so I've stopped at the Yorkshireman micro pub for a half of Trip Hop from the Oss Ett brewery which sounds a bit Norse to me.
Edit: Looked up the brewery it's not Oss Ett but Ossett which is a place.
@Boeing Moving slowly today. It's about 28 C here and very sunny. It's good that most of the buildings here are stone built so it's relatively cool indoors.
