We made two trips to England (in addition to one over the New Year, covered in the 2010 Journals) and spent most of the time at our nephew’s flat in Ilkley.
During the summer visit, Molly stayed with her sister in Besford and attended her sibling reunion and, later, we both spent a week in Devon at our favorite pub on Dartmoor. While in Ilkley, I did quite a bit of walking and biking and visited nearby towns of Otley, Addingham, Bolton Abbey, Kettlewell, Pateley Bridge and Settle. We also visited the beautiful Fountains Abbey near Ripon.
We spent time with my cousin Roy at his home near Barrow and i spent one day cycling to “visit” many of my boyhood homes in Keighley, Shipley and Bingley.
During our October visit, I ventured further afield with my walking and spent time in Morecambe and Lancaster as well as Harrogate.
