“I’ve booked a night in a guest house just before Christmas.” This sounded like a lovely idea until you suddenly realise that it was the weekend and you hadn’t packed. Following on from my many forgotten to pack items from our last few trips I was convinced I’d forget something. Mother Nature had her own ideas...
The guest house was in a little village called Easingwold, it was lovely very boutique. GO had booked a suite which was very modern and clean. I’m not one to complain but there was an awful lot of faux fur, a dusty/dirty pink rug and no complimentary shampoo or shower gel. Other than that it was perfect. Once we checked in we headed over to an nearby National Trust property, it was a large Manor House that had a special Father Christmas visit planned. We had a pleasant time and as usual we headed to the cafe, the selection was poor so we decided to skip it.
Instead we headed for a nearby farm shop. It was quite similar to the Crazy Bear in Stadhampton. The cafe was very quaint with lots of wood beams, we started chatting about how Oxfordshire was over run with cafes like this but, that where we live, there is nothing. They have tried to update Gordon Rigg and there is a very, very popular farm shop in Cragg Vale that is ridiculously overpriced. It started us thinking again about our future plans to open a cafe, guest house or caravan park. We have always talked about this and had almost forgotten our dreams. We live in a picturesque area which could become a hotspot and we need to jump I’m the bandwagon quickly.
