I shouldn't have mentioned that we'd had no problems with evening meals in my blog yesterday. We got to the White Swan last night to be told the chef was not there but that the owner could offer us meat pie or chicken in a cheese sauce. Not too good if you're vegetarian. So I settled for just a plate of vegetables.
Another easy day along fields and lanes and then a climb up the Cleveland Hills. The challenge of the day was crossing the A19.
We left the C2C path and walked south along the Cleveland Way down to Osmotherley, a nice village of stone cottages, where John Wesley is said to have preached from the barter table by the market cross.
Royal Wedding fever seems to be hotting up; we had special union jack flag serviettes at breakfast and on arrival at the Queen Catherine Hotel, where we are staying, we were faced with a life-size cardboard replica of Will and Kate. And then we were walking past the primary school in Osmotherley, when the children all came out clutching their souvenir mugs. A boy after my own heart came out saying to his mum "But I don't even drink tea or coffee and you can't even put it in the dishwasher"!
