Sunday 20th June 2010…had to happen..

Woke up yesterday morning to the “real” English weather….I did my walk at 8am and in the hour it took I experienced cold dark clouds, a biting wind, howling rain and sunny periods!!

After a wonderful full English breakfast, thanks Janet, we went to Beverley the next town where we had full day passes for the annual Folk festival.

The town was alive with people everywhere these dancers were performing on the main street.

We arrived at the venue for the festival which was located at the Leisure centre and it was very well organized with different tents set up and lots of local acts to choose from.  The weather was so very cold and we felt sorry for the people staying here..
