Liverpool around the Albert Dock area is great too.Have a lovely time and more photos please! Thanks for the ideas. Pauline always wanted to get a Ferry across the Mersey so we will see what we can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really sorry to hear about your husband but pleased you had a wonderful time on the North Yorkshire Moors. We often visit Whitby then pop along to see Heartbeat village(Goathland) on the way to Pickering and Malton. Helmsley is also a lovely place to visit. Graham. We seriously thought about moving to Helmsley when I retired from full time work, then I got a part time job so we stayed in our village near York. Now I'm fully retired but we are staying here, prices went crazy in the Yorkshire Moors area after Heartbeat. Our favourite place for a pub lunch closed and is now a Fat Face shop.

Dermotsgirl Posted August 14, 2020 #4153 Share Posted August 14, 2020 We’ve just been out to lunch, as it’s our 39th wedding anniversary tomorrow. It was fairly quiet, as it’s not an Eat Out to Help Out day, but we had a £15 voucher, so we did get a bit of a discount. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esprit Posted August 14, 2020 #4157 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Day 1 in the lockdown house. Madrid airport was empty. Felt like we were on the last flights out for good. Only those with flight tickets allowed in the terminal and all the duty free shops etc closed except for a cafe. The plane was over 90% full compared with 60% when we flew out. Everyone wearing masks throughout flight. It was the quickest turnaround I’ve ever experienced and we dodged the thunderstorms and M25 severe flooding too. Unlike Madrid airport, no temperature checks or scanning of our QR code. I did see some people come unstuck when they couldn’t successfully use the auto passport barriers. They then had to stand in line for a UK border officer to allow entry, but they also asked to see the obligatory UK Entry form. The panic on some people’s faces was to behold. What a disappointment coming through the last doors to the meet & greet area of the North Terminal. Having been used to seeing everyone wearing masks for the last week to then see so many not was quite a shock! Kept myself busy today watching some six hours of last weekends F1 qualifying and race having avoided any news of the result. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermotsgirl Posted August 14, 2020 #4163 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks for all the good wishes. I can't believe it's 39 years already, where does time go. Tomorrow, I'm going out with a couple of friends for afternoon tea. It's to celebrate my 60th birthday, postponed from March. I will be 60yrs and 5 months tomorrow, so it seemed like a good day to do it. I will bring back a doggie bag for my husband (if there's any left overs), and his anniversary treat will be an afternoon of peace and quiet ! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
