3 Days in one

I'm having to do a bit of catch up on the places we've been to over the last few days. Isn't life one mad swirl. Weds- stayed at home waiting for plumber. (exciting isn't it) Thurs- Went to Hardcastle Crags.
This place is an area of natural beauty, " A green oasis " as the guide says, " Home to the hairy backed ant. " And it's not wrong, we walked through some stunning scenery and saw thousands of hairy backed ants. Cute little fellows. ( I'm still itching. ) The place is about one and a half miles north of Hebden Bridge and maintained by the National Trust. Check it out.
Today- Due to it being a Provvi day we stayed local and took the kids to Cannon Hall farm near Cawthorne,Barnsley. If youv'e never been it's a huge park with a museum,a working farm the usual rip-off gift shop and cafe cum tearooms. At £2.95 for adults and £2.50 for children I think it's a bit overpriced for what you get ( 50% goats,20% pigs,rest made up of cows ,horses etc) although this gives you access to the adventure playground. Fine! Don't eat your sarnies down by the lake cos you get innundated with ducks and geese and they aint scared of nothing.
Why does the postman deliver my junk mail to my neighbours house but always delivers the bills correctly?
