Christmas 2015 at Pry House

 

 

Chris and Glenda would like to wish all who read our blog a Happy Christmas.

 

 



Swaledale at its Wildest

 

Its been a wild and wet day up at Pry House.  At daybreak the River Swale was high and raging.  All day the driving wind has sent horizontal curtains of rain down the dale and the river has continued to rise steadily.  It could easily burst its banks if the rain doesn't ease soon.

 

 



Tup in't Yard

 Tup in't yard, what is he up to?  

Warm shelter and a bite of tea?  OR  Another night under the stars sniffing out a new bride?

After several weeks on the rampage, sowing his wild oats with many a lady sheep this tup chooses the 'pipe and slipper' option and puts himself to bed!

Even the most hot blooded males need the occasional quiet night in!

Farmhouse Kitchen

 

Our weather changes so quickly at the head of the dale.  Yesterday bright and beautiful, today not fit for man nor beast.  The wind has howled and the rain lashed all day so instead it is a case of being productive indoors.  Mince pies are in the freezer, scones made for tea, a pan of soup ready to help warm up frozen husband when he finally comes in and all brass polished.

A good day's work.
