Observe the marvels as they happen around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the beauty moving through and be silent.
Jalil al-Din Rumi (1207-1273), Persia
The alarm seemed to go off very early this morning…
Mr C quickly did his packing before we went for breakfast. There was a lot of banter as Toby served breakfast. When one of the other guests asked him if he was alright this morning, he looked at us and said ‘No not really’ and we fell about laughing, much to the puzzlement of the other guests.
After breakfast we loaded up the car and settled up the bill with Toby who then went to get Leona so we could say our goodbyes. We exchanged email addresses and Leona said next time we are in the area, we must call in to have a coffee together, because at the end of this season they will no longer be running the Coach House It was a sad moment that we were all rescued from by another client turning up to pay his bill.
We set off on our journey home via Mainsgill Farm thinking we might have lunch there. It was very busy and crowded and not what we were in the mood for so we decided to drive on. Whilst we were there I noticed that Kevin the camel was not around but I noticed two younger camels who turned out to be Doris and Delilah. Later I found out that Kevin was no longer with us. He will be missed, he was a magnificent creature.
After driving a little further we arrived in Brough where we found just the right sort of tea shop for our mood. It was small, busy and quiet. Overlooking the tea shop were the ruins of Brough Castle which we went to explore after lunch. We then resumed our homeward journey.
The prompt for this weeks theme is ‘All is Calm‘. More photos on this theme can be found in the gallery.
I did a double take when I arrived back at the car after stopping off for a refreshing cup of tea on a long journey home. The ram had mysteriously buckled his seat belt!!!
