I suppose I should just be glad for our previous experiences there but I'm very sad to think that we won't be able to make similar memories there again.

At least you have those precious memories and photos of past times at the waterfall and I'm sure Tom Kitten had a wonderful time paddling in the water.

How great, though, that Tom Kitten could wet his feet in the same place as his older family members.

We have an often-told family story of one of my sisters getting her socks wet in the stream at a family picnic when she was very young; we built a fire and hung the socks over it on sticks to dry them out. There is even photographic evidence. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-4464354458202932812019-09-09T12:35:19.994+01:002019-09-09T12:35:19.994+01:00Thanks Barbara.

Isn't it a shame when places you know and love change so much? Some of it for economic reasons but mostly just people's attitudes and expectations which don't tally with ours anymore.

I've just looked up Aysgarth Falls and it looks beautiful. I don't think the riverbank was closed off just for the wedding, the owners now run camping retreats and events and although the signage was confusing and contradictory, there was one which said, "No Public Access". It's such a shame. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-52635623277245787122019-09-09T12:09:07.175+01:002019-09-09T12:09:07.175+01:00Oh, I remember that advert.
