Day Tripper

I had a few days off work this week, and as the weather was nice and sunny I took myself on a train ride to Harrogate, in Yorkshire (just because I hadn't been before!)


There are lots of really  lovely little independant gift and antique shops in Harrogate; it was lovely to wander round doing some leisurely browsing and window shopping. I loved this duckegg blue tinwear (above), and these sweet little birdhouses -



And of course I couldn't go to Yorkshire without a visit to the famous Betty's Tea Rooms! How yummy do these handmade chocolate Easter eggs look? Almost too gorgeous to eat (note the "almost!")

    Looks like you had a lovely shopping trip! It's such fun to explore a place you haven't been before. Now that the weather's a little better, I'm hoping to do some of that.

    You're so lucky to be able to hop on a train and go. Here, it's the car or nothing...

    Catherine - it is unusual to find so many original little shops in one place! And of course I'll save you some chocolate :)

    Angelshair thank you! Yes it is a lovely town.

    Maggie I know, am lucky that so many places are easily accesible from where I live :) I'll look forward to seeing photos from your trips! x

    Sharon thank you! It was beautiful! Lovely to see you, hope you're well! x
