A Yorkshire Dales Birthday

Today is my birthday. I wanted to spend it in the Yorkshire Dales. I’ve taken so many pictures here that I’m going to have to work backwards in posts. So, today was our last day in the Dales. We started with lunch and a tour of the Wensleydale Creamery that makes Wensleydale Cheese. Yummy cheese samples! We even got to watch a demonstration where she made cheese right in front of us. We did restrain ourselves and only bought small blocks of cheddar and blueberry cheese.

After that I talked to my mom and then we decided to go on a hike to a local waterfall. But as we were walking into Hawes (where we are staying), I saw the butcher/baker shop that had cake. So, I had to stop and buy a Victoria sponge and take it back to our B & B.

We finally ended up doing our like 4.5 mile hike. We went through lots of sheep fields then finally down to the waterfall.

After returning to town we headed to dinner just down from our B & B at the White Hart Inn.

We didn’t have a knife in our room, so I cut the cake with dental floss. Excellent end to a wonderful day. Tomorrow we head to Wales, maybe detouring through the Lake District. I’ll try to work on the longer post on the Dales next!
