nonnaB 4,893 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just part of my walks. The rainbow was last night as we came out of a chinese restaurant after a thunder storm. The cow was in the middle of chewing and stopped with half chewed-grass in its mouth to see what I was doinghttp://s827.photobucket.com/user/nonnifelici/slideshow/Walking 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,893 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 # 2 I know its very difficult especially when the roads are full of tractors at vendemmia time and all you can smell is grapes. The sun gets soooo hot and walking in those hills is so tiring. As for macdonalds and pizza hut ....well we have to make some sacrifices. When All is said and done, its not too bad but we do have mcdonalds in Asti and the pizzerias here are ....well this is Italy. For all the inconveniences I wouldnt change it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ValuerJim 277 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Llanbedrog is on the south coast of the Lyn Peninsula, between Pwllheli and Abersoch, in north west Wales. The beach is owned by the National Trust, and has a bar restaurant at its western end, overlooked by the 'Tin Man' up on Llanbedrog Head. If you don't know it, you've a treat in store. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,118 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 With-out doubt we have some beautiful scenery in the 'British Isles',and i'm sure we all have our favourites.........mine is the 'Calf of Man' on the southern tip of the Isle of Man,.......having said that we are lucky in Nottingham having the lovely Derbyshire Dales on our doorstep........... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 And the Dukeries, and Peak District, but other than Devon, Dorset or Cornwall, I love North Yorkshire. Friendly folk, good ale, good food and glorious scenery thrown in for good measure. Pity the weather is a bit duff at times. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ValuerJim 277 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Here's one you might know, Fly. Taken last weekend. In Muker, Swaledale. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not been there, but the right area. Brilliant! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 # 14. We've been in there too Jim. My cousin and his wife live in Thwaite, the next village ....... they have lovely holiday cottages to rent if anybody's in interested spending time up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ValuerJim 277 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 That's a coincidence, Lizzie. We stay with friends who also have a cottage in Thwaite. The cottage doesn't have a back door but, if it did, the Pennine Way goes right past it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well if we're not talking about the same person they will definitely know each other in that little place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 That pub looks very inviting!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I've driven through Thwaite and Mucker when I've stayed at Reeth about five villages east. Just south of the B6270 is the small hamlet of Crackpot which I've mentioned previously in a topic about unusual place names. Also, just north of Reeth is another village with an unusual name, Booze. Crackpot and Booze, very appropriate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ValuerJim 277 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Here's another one you might know, Fly. Hope Cove, just along from Salcombe, in south Devon. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
