We set out early-ish this morning. But not early enough not to have to rush to a museum we wanted to hit up en route.

DD has an interest in costuming and Canon Hall in the Yorkshire Dales is displaying some fabulous movie costumes just now, so we swung by to have a look…

We thought perhaps that we might not get enough American fayre over the next two weeks, so we’re kicking things off at TGI Fridays… :rofl::rofl:
It would be rude not to on July 4th :us::us:
