  We all met up and eagerly made our way to our wonderful accommodation.   It had huge well kept lawns, tennis courts and stables (where the German National Team were looking after their horses).   We unpacked excitedly, freshened up and then went out to a delightful pub where we chatted and got to know each other over dinner.   We enjoyed a few drinks and mad our way back home where we all relaxed before our first night! We visited the nearby Fountains Abbey Visitors Centre.   It was a lovely place and we drove through the deer park and down by the lake.   We then took a beautifully scenic drive to Eshott to see the famous Woolpack Pub!   We even enjoyed a drink in there and felt like were part of the Emmerdale cast!   After our drink we headed to Harrogate and went into Betty’s tearoom which was wonderful! We arose bright and early one morning and after our usual hearty breakfast, we headed for Huddersfield where we went to a long...

We all chatted and got to know each other and were all looking forward to the week ahead!   We took the short ferry ride over to Yarmouth and arrived at our lovely resort.   After we unpacked we had a lovely filling dinner and then watched a fantastic welcome show put on by the entertainment team.   We all sang along to the songs we knew, and danced in our seats!   We all got up on the dance floor and had a boogie, too!  We did so many brilliant things during our week away.  We visited the famous Needles at Allum Bay.  It was a beautifully sunny day and it was lovely looking out over the ocean with a refreshing breeze on our faces.  We watched some incredible glass blowing and watched them create the most beautiful glass vases. We really felt the heat of the furnace on our faces!  We also went into the sweet factory and saw the process of how sweets are actually made....

We all met up over lunch and set off in the ‘Jolly Bus’ - destination Wales! Our accommodation for the week was a luxury converted barn with bedrooms downstairs and living space upstairs to make the most of the fantastic views over the lush Welsh countryside! For the first evening we visited the local pub which had a beautiful restaurant serving very good food.   During our fantastic week away we did so many wonderful things.  One morning we set off and drove through the lush, Welsh countryside.  The views were simply stunning.  We visited a place called Corris where there was a large craft centre where we saw leather goods, glass work, pottery and candles being made. We bought some lovely souvenirs in the beautiful little shop!  On another day we went to Devils Bridge.  We were so high that we were amongst the clouds!  We looked over the top of the bridge and it was such a long way down with waterfalls cascading all the way to the ...
