Days 5, 6 & 7 - Friday - Sunday 4th - 6th July

I am grouping these days together as we did not get out a great deal. On Friday we moved in with Mandy and Graham and the Saturday and Sunday we were grounded because of the Tour de France.

One thing we did do on the Friday is revisit Pateley Bridge and glassblowers there. We were mightily impressed with the demonstration we were given and I brought Daniel and Anna a gift each from here. The glass is actually lead crystal and I was told I would have to check in my baggage separately when I return home as lead crystal shows up as black in the xray machines!

The Tour de France was exciting as it went right past Mandy and Graham's house at Harrogate (Starbeck). It was great fun communicating with Janey and Anna by text and saying I was in the 2nd level of the house and I had hung an orange scarf outside! It was brilliant communicating on the race over half a world.

The pics below are all of images I took from my perch in the window on the 2nd level and when we went for a walk with Mandy near her home. All good fun.
