Mother Shipton's Cave






We made most of the day yesterday as it was sunny. We took Daniel to Knaesborough , a beautiful historical market town north of Harrogate.
Before we set off, we told Daniel we were going to see the Petrifying Teddy at Mother Shipton's Cave. Daniel didn't understand much. Then we told him that we were going to have fish and chips afterwards. What Daniel remembered most after 1 hour car journey was Fish and Chips.
The famous Petrifying Well, a unique geological phenomenon. The waters extremely high mineral content means that everything in it’s path is turned into stone. people had hanged their toy teddy, hat etc were all turned into stone. The Petrifying Well is England’s Oldest Visitor Attraction, first opening its gates in 1630! Over the years millions of people have come to see for themselves the amazing powers of The Petrifying Well. We've been there quite a few times before Daniel was born, we've house-hunted in Harrogate area before but didn't successful.
We had lunch in the bear garden of a pub overlooking the River. The sun was so shinny and the blossoming cherry tree in their garden covered whole yard. It felt so nice! I ordered Chili Rice, obviously Daniel ordered Fish Chips, but he got fish fingers with peas and chips instead. He likes his food and he sat there with his giraffe and at them all up...

Daniel really enjoys playing in the garden, even on a rainy day. Now that the summer has arrived here, Daniel demands to go garden to play all the time. On my weekend, the first thing Daniel wants to do when he wakes up is ' Shall we go garden, mummy?' he likes running around in the garden shouting 'I'm busy, I'm busy...' he likes to copy his Day to push a lawn mower. he would push his toy wheel burrow and pretended that it is his law mower. We bought his a toddler gardening set with little buckets, toddler garden gloves and little spade. He would use it to dig the mud. He rides motor bike in the garden, sitting in the tent or sit on his tiger deck chair eating and drinking and demands to eat dinner in the garden all the time. The trouble is it could be a bit cold in the evening in the garden still, but he insists...
