Peter's tales

Well hi everyone, this is the tour driver, so, as you would well imagine, I do not have a lot to report because I have responsibility for the safety and comfort of those travelling in business class seats in the car.
Apparently there have been many interesting sites but all I can report on are lorry sizes and speeds of approaching vehicles. Oh and how narrow and windy the roads are. That's Wine dy as in wine. Nor as in Wind.
Having said that there continue to be real highlights for me on this journey. Many revolve around Mary's inability to operate door locks and keys. This is the case everywhere. Locked in, locked out. So now I am door man as well.
As the Child Bride has probably reported, there have been many highlights on the way down from beautiful Ambleside Cumbria. The Southern Scottish (what could be call them?) Lowlands and the drive in Cumbria were so beautiful. We continually blurted out "Oh  Wow's" the whole drive. North Yorkshire was ditto and we came across this little (actually bloody huge) viaduct that still has trains running on it. Stopped here for bite and a beer.
Arriving at Tibberton was a highlight. Rural farming country.

Huge Viaduct - built for Roman steam trains circa 800ad

We have spent a relaxing and enjoyable day with Pete Nicholls exploring local sights including the very first iron bridge in the world. Plus lunch and beer. Good beer. Two pints each. Yum.
Hard to say what highlights stand out as each day has a new bunch. For me, eaves dropping on conversations and listening to local accents is a hoot. Really beautiful to hear.
Also. Beer. Different beers in every pub. Now that is a good idea. No doubt Irish stouts have been my favourite so far. So. That's it from me. Regards the DD.
