The rounded corner suggests Toll-House, or maybe simply closer to the road< & radiused to prevent strikes?

Red Bus Cafe

A brief ride west, along the A64, from Bramham Cross-Roads (with some awful surfaces at points!!)
Traffic wasn't too bad, but it's years since I've even been along this stretch in the car, or on the bike

Looking east....
Leeds Country Way (bridleway...... too soggy to investigate) enters/leaves Saw Wood, just in front of the people-carrier

Our double decker bus cafe still ran, but it moved away to Nashville, Tennessee. That's the problem with having a food cart in an operational bus.

Tues 7th

Senior Management was undertaking some consultancy work at Scarborough Hospital
I arranged for a days annual-leave & drove her up (thus earning brownie points?)
We were up there, before 08:45 (with her meeting starting at 09:30)

Once dropped off, I had a few hours (not sure how many it would be) exploring....
Normally I consider Scarborough to be 'Blackpool-on-the- North Sea', but out of season today, it was quite enjoyable

#1
Noticed on the last road, towards the Hospital

Not a good juxtaposition of facilities.....:wacko:
