At the weekend we went to York Balloon Fiesta, hosted by Make it York, York's Ultra Fibre Optic & Minster FM. It's the 2nd time we've been, we went last year but because the weather was so poor the balloon flights didn't really happen. However, this year you couldn't have asked for better weather. The… Continue reading York Balloon Fiesta 2018

Marigold Cafe, Knaresborough
A trip to the Marigold Cafe has been on my "must see" list for ages, well over a year. Last week we finally got round to visiting & it was so much fun! Now, the Marigold isn't just your standard cafe. It's nestled right next to the river Nidd (offering BEAUTIFUL views) & for a… Continue reading Marigold Cafe, Knaresborough
Helmsley Walled Garden, North Yorkshire
We've been meaning to pay a visit to Helmsley Walled Garden for a while now. We love the fact that you can bring your dog along with you, as many similar formal gardens in the area don't allow dogs. The only rule is that dogs have to remain on the lead, which is pretty reasonable!… Continue reading Helmsley Walled Garden, North Yorkshire
Waggy Tail Days at Beningbrough Hall, York
Beningbrough Hall have recently trialled special Dog Friendly days, so today we went along to one of them and here's what we thought. Previously, only assistance dogs had been allowed into the gardens & hall. Dogs have always been allowed in the parkland/grounds (and it's free to explore if you weren't already aware). But for the… Continue reading Waggy Tail Days at Beningbrough Hall, York
Cosy Club, York
We made a very impromptu trip to Cosy Club York at the weekend, and we had such a great time we thought you'd like to read about it. Dogs are welcome to sit in the bar area & to be perfectly honest there isn't that much of a different to the restaurant. The tables are… Continue reading Cosy Club, York
Lucky Days, York
A while ago, we found ourselves in York City Centre with some time to kill, so we decided to go and get a bite to eat! I'd seen in the past that Lucky Days Cafe, on Parliament Street, has a big "dog friendly" sticker on the door so we thought we'd give them a try!… Continue reading Lucky Days, York
Bluebells at Beningbrough!
Everyone has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bluebells. They're definitely a lot later than usual this year, the awful cold and wet weather really had delayed spring in general. So when we were strolling around the grounds of Beningbrough Hall today, you can probably imagine, like many others, we were thrilled to see… Continue reading Bluebells at Beningbrough!
Bliss Cafe, North Yorkshire
Bliss Cafe in Thirsk has got to be Piper's favourite Dog Friendly cafe, simply because every dog that walks through the door is handed their own portion of sausages, served in a cute little bowl, completely free of charge! As you would expect it goes down a treat with all the dogs, Piper (quiet literally) can't… Continue reading Bliss Cafe, North Yorkshire
Me & Mrs Fisher, York
Today we made a rather impromptu visit to the Me & Mrs Fisher cafe in York. I had heard wonderful things about the food here, so as we were near by we decided to grab a bite to eat. If you know York, it's the building with the big Bile Beans sign painted on at the end of Lord… Continue reading Me & Mrs Fisher, York
Wolds Way Lavender, North Yorkshire
Today we visited the picturesque Wolds Way Lavender Farm. It was so peaceful & relaxing, strolling through the fields with the subtle lavender scent. Since we had such a lovely time, we thought we would share our experience with you all. Admission was really reasonable, I think it was £3 each for an adult. Dogs are… Continue reading Wolds Way Lavender, North Yorkshire
