When LittleStuff went to Yorkshire – staying at Ing Heads
A few weeks ago we packed up the car and headed north, to spend half term in the Yorkshire Dales. I know, I know, it was February. But just look at Ing Heads, the cottage we were staying in. And the inside wasn’t too shabby either… So keeping those images firmly in mind we got up at mad o’clock and trekked 6hrs North.
