Mary and Stewart visiting

We had a lovely weekend just gone, with Mary and Stewart visiting for a couple of days.  We were originally going to be camping but the Jubilee weekend was booked up long ago at every campsite we could find.  As it turned out to be a wet weekend, we weren't too upset by that.

So on Sunday we went to White Scar cave - Marisca's first underground experience.  It was a great trip down - very busy, given the weather, but with lots of interesting things to see.  I think Marisca enjoyed it, although she didn't keep her helmet on for longer than a single photo, and she certainly didn't enjoy the very loud waterfall.

Monday turned out quite nice: changeable but good enough to go and visit Hardcastle crags, over by Hebden Bridge. It's a really nice valley, with craggy rocks, a winding stream, and a mill with a lovely still mill pond.  We had fun walking down the side of the valley, we saw a frog, we had lunch and Marisca did an amazing job of eating an ice cream without spilling it everywhere.

Thank you for visiting, Mary & Stewart!  Marisca is still saying "Mary and Stewart" about once an hour.
