Ilkley

We enjoyed a walk on the river today, misty and cool at home to start the day, warm and sunny later. 

We stopped at the Ilkley Tennis Club café (which is open to the public now) for lunch.

We sat on the veranda in the sun and had a nice snack at a very reasonable price.

 (Please note “Ilkley and reasonable price in the same sentence!)
