5th August 2020 “Full house” in July 2010… 10 years ago... A lot of things have changed but not the countryside and Whitethorn. 10 years ago... we had a lot of visitors in July... ...as for example Gerdi and Frans. They finally kept their promise and revisited us after years. We worked in the garden... ...we walked a lot... ...we trained the dogs... ...studied nature (very often through the lens)... ...and have been fascinated by the result - as well on small scale... ...as on large scale! Marcel and Petra - the next couple from Switzerland. They enjoyed training their dogs on the moors... ...at Farndale... ...and at the beach (pictured Swift and Ioco). Herta, just arrived from Switzerland, joined us at the windy sea. Less wind while visiting York... ...and after the sightseeing she enjoyed a homemade ice in Helmsley. . Out in the moors again, playing with our dogs... ...Herta was quite impressed! More visitors: Pip (from York) and Maiko (from Japan) joined us for a day. 10 years ago - memories that stay forever... ...of lovely Swift... ...and of good old Cap.
