We found a perfect little retreat in the grounds of a 16th century manor house and when we drove up to the cottage every evening three lovely dogs would come bounding across the sweeping lawns to greet us. We were surrounded by plum, apple and pear trees and there was honeysuckle round the doorway. And all for £40 a night!
As soon as we got back we went with Oscar to the Southport Flower Show - beautiful weather this year, which is almost unheard of. Not much fun for a two-year old though, when all he could see were people's knees.
His mummy and daddy bought him a quad bike as an early birthday present.
But only after he had sampled everything with four wheels in Toys R Us
I loved the Dales on my one and only visit, My father was a Yorkshire man, mum hailed from Lancashire so a war of the Roses in our house.
