These are the last. So they don't necessarily fit together.
Cars: Sorry, I can't tell you any more about them than that! I expect someone with moar knowledge will step forward. They were lovely and shiny. And the OB set of a BBC teatime show called The One Show, who broadcast live that day. I stayed to watch about half, then wandered off, got on the wrong shuttle bus, had to walk back to Harrogate centre, got lost, missed the last bus back to Otley, ended up in tears and was eventually picked up by a friend's daughter (who was NOT impressed). Bloody Matt Baker. Aside from the embarrassing finale to the day, it was absolutely gorgeous.

Just a few pics from Dr DanaC's ceremony in Leeds.
Going into the Great Hall. Staircase in all its Victorian glory. Worthies on the stage. The Gallery, for the poorly organised people who arrived later than we did

Have cock, will pose.
Yes, on behalf of the Cellar I awarded Danielle the Noble Order of the Cock. Cock on own, not being overshadowed by real educational achievements. She took it in very good fun. And if it was smashed on return home then I needn't know.

On behalf of Sundae.
Sundae is in Leeds this afternoon and decided she was going to enjoy a fun fair ride. I'm not sure what it is called but it looks terrifying!
Received on my phone a short while ago, the image was rotated by 90deg in a clockwise direction from that which you see here. I think it should be shown this way.

Everyone laughed and whooped on the ride, honest.
Me all ready for the off - note handy elasticated band on my hat. For keeping it on during fairground rides I assume. I wore it with the band tucked inside the rest of the day. From Poundland. Bargain. Maybe I whooped more than most. I'd had a bad day, I needed to let it all out (it actually got worse later, so I'm glad I did!)

So. I went to Harewood House the other week.
It's a stately home, close to Leeds. Not that close as it turns out, but I won't mention that again for a while. In the grand old English tradition, it is not pronounced as it is written, instead it is Harr-wood. The Harewood (see above for pronunciation) family still live on the premises, but not in the main part of the house. Since visiting I found out my Grandad used to serve one of them when he worked at the Covent Garden Opera House. I don't remember which one it was, which is probably just as well, as it means I can't be sued; in Grandad's opinion not only was he not a real gentleman, but he was (quoting Mum, quoting Grandad) "a stupid arse." Anyway, that's all by the by. This was a late birthday treat, and I am sharing it with you. From the outside. I came by bus. Walk through the arch with the cars zooming past you - not one sod stops and asks if you'd like a lift, even though you're all obviously going to the same place! Turns out there is a stop for a "shuttke service" just to the left of the arch. You'd have to know it was there, though. I didn't. Not that I mind walking, it's just the fact I had to walk on the grass like a poor relation, as there's no pavement. And I'm telling you them motor cars is quick. I'm not detailing my encounter with the lady at the ticket booth. But here I am at the House. And after all, it is beautiful.

Inside, you can't take photos with a flash.
So as it was a typically overcast West Yorkshire day, the light inside wasn't great. I have many blurry photos. I've culled the better ones for you. Always showing off my bust. There was a whole cabinet of these, showing various stages of drunk and disorderly. I liked. Next stop - the crapper. Literally, as it was designed by Thomas Crapper. Then the gorgeous Chinese Bedroom.

I'll get back to Harewood House in a bit.
But these were Leeds, yesterday. Never found out why, but cheered me right up, I'll tell thee.
