Thwaite Mills Watermill Museum
We went to check it out last weekend, but when we got there, it stank. Literally. It smelled like there was a sewage treatment facility nearby. Given that it's in an industrial area a couple of miles south of Leeds, that might be it...We took a quick picture and went to Roundhay Park instead.
We had a picnic & watched people playing cricket

Roundhay was definitely a better plan...No sewage smells there!
Last night we went to the Victoria for dinner after work
Today, we went out to Harewood House and actually went inside the house for the first time. It's a bit pricey (14 pounds), but worth it. The house is gorgeous (no photos inside, unfortunately), and the admission price includes the bird garden which was amazing. It's practically like a zoo, with endangered species and really elaborate enclosures...
Stanley Crane
Helmeted Guineafowl
Snowy Owl
Waldrapp Ibis
They're critically endangered--only about 500 in the wild (Morocco), and about 1000 in captivity worldwide.
Stork
Mallards
Chilean Flamingoes

A house for all seasons...

It looks so different in the summer!
