We had breakfast with Tina today and then Mike and I set off for The Ryedale Folk Museum, a beautiful drive across the Yorkshire Moors. Hutton le Hole, the village where the museum is, has signs as you approach that there are sheep on the road. Very unusual and talking to a local it brings a lot of visitors to the area. Sadly, one had been hit as we approached the village and was dead on the verge. Another one ambled across in front of us, but there are signs at both ends of the village warning of their freedom to roam where they want to.

I have only been to the museum once before and really liked it then. We had a cup of tea and then started our walk around. The first things you come to are a couple of shops, they are fabulous, inside and out.

There are loads of different workshops from coopers, and blacksmiths, tinsmiths saddle makers and many more. The funeral director display had this great funeral carriage.

In one of the cottages there was this really old sampler, in really good condition considering it's age.

Mike had a spell of not feeling to well when we were there, and at one point I was sitting in a large hall and was befriended bu a cute grey cat. He was all over me, and needling my legs, all was well until he decided to bit me, not badly and didn't break the skin, was just getting excited by the attention. Took one picture of him on my lap, well, tried to, then another when he followed me into another room!

Loved this cottage, a perfect retirement place!

With this fabulous outhouse in it's grounds.

A bit further up there is a really gorgeous model village, maintained by volunteers.

Further into the grounds was a really great example of a bronze age round house.

Walking back down a different path we saw this gypsy caravan, the roof inside was gorgeous.

I took many more photos as you can imagine, maybe will post a few more another day when I haven't taken much else. In the ladies before I left there was this great poster on one of the walls.

There was an exhibition room just as you leave with all these wedding dresses from over the years.

We stopped for lunch at The Cedarbarn farm shop and cafe. Very popular and very good. Then we called in at Snainton wood supplies as we were passing right by it. I wore the new support again, and although we wandered quite a bit it was at a very steady pace and the ankle does not seem to be worse or aggravated.
