Addingham

Me at my desk back in November--just hadn't posted it yet

The Crown Inn, where we had a lovely Sunday roast

The staff were all very friendly and we ate in a cozy little side room with a fireplace :)

A park along Main Street

Addingham's public library. We also saw a really cool specialty place for collectible children's books, TP Children's Bookshop, but it's only open on Fri & Sat, 10am-4pm!

This was a replica of a sunken ship--it was built as part of a job creation scheme in the 1980's, giving 400 local artists & craftspeople jobs, and it's a maritime museum.

Houseboat--note the grass growing on top!





The one in the middle is the Anne Frank house--just for you, Mom :)
