After loving our sea view at Hooks House Farm Campsite, we left on the Saturday to move to Middlewood and meet up with some friends for the later half of our week away. Weather has improved and by 6am Saturday morning we were up and out getting fresh air as the tent was so warm.

We checked in at 12 midday, and holy moly the site was packed. We sadly haven’t got stunning views, but we are near the loo, so that’s a huge plus. We had tea with our friends and lots of beer with giggles. An excellent tonic. And a spot of cards against humanity. Didn’t get off the site all day, but we didn’t care. Walked the pups down the lane and all in all had a wicked day.

Didn’t sleep well Saturday night, so Sunday morning was a lazy affair, we all descended on our friends caravan for breakfast. As it was warm and sticky we couldn’t go out until it was cooler for the pooches. Once it was we visited Robin Hood’s Bay for some doggy training and recall on the beach.

We waded through the sea as it had cut off some parts of the walk way but it was only knee height, and a chance to cool off. And ended the evening with pork chops and salad, sweet potato wedges. We had an early night, but we didn’t sleep much better sadly. Sleep is definitely a sticking point for one of us or both. And that wears you out before you’ve even started.

We have all chairs and beds that are 90 degrees, so it’s not stress on the hips, however I am starting to struggle with pain and limitations. So home will be a welcome sight, and I’m not moving for a while.

Monday was the higher temps, so we stayed confined to the shade and caravan of our friends to keep pups safe. Felt like we were on a different holiday to before, when we were in coats freezing!! Monday was our friends birthday too, so nothing too mental.

Tuesday was our day to leave, and by 11am the temp was high 35 degrees, so we ended with saying out goodbyes to one friend, having a last breakfast with the others, before we headed off ourselves. A quick detour to the beach for some sheltered sea watching as it’s now 40 degrees.
