Hi folks, with everything still a bit up in the air coronavirus wise, and with not a lot to do except watch hours of telly, I’ve been catching up on stuff I’ve recorded. With great memories of our fab NMS Yorkshire trips, there are 2 programmes I really enjoyed which reminded me of some of the great times we’ve shared. I’m sure they’ll be available on catch-up or YouTube etc.
“Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out” Series 1 Episode 3, with lots of beautiful Yorkshire scenery and a few of our old haunts.
“Bangers & Cash” Series 3 Episode 9, of course Mathewson’s auction place is in Thornton Le Dale, which we know well, but this episode also features the brilliant ‘Scarborough Fair’ where we’ve spent some quality time hanging on to various fairground rides for dear life!
Just thought you might enjoy having the old memories rebooted while we wait with everything crossed for our next MINI Adventure.

We will be pleasantly surprised if we make our trip. The dates announced by BJ would indicate that we are just going to miss out. So disappointing but never say never.
Then again NS 'may' spring a surprise later today .......... doubt it though
