Catrigg Force is two-and-a-half hectares of lush wooded valley situated in North Yorkshire. This location is said to be where Edward Elgar got his inspiration to compose the classic “Land of Hope and Glory.”

Why use Twitter in the countryside?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Twitter is a useful tool for communicating and keeping in touch, a good way to think of it is a public text message which you can share with all your friends to save calling or text messaging (and free).

For the rural community it is also a great way to get instant information on the Weather, Rural News and Prices. We have launched Twitter.com/kissinggates to allow you to keep up to date with useful information affecting your rural community.

Farming is Lonely and Dangerous

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Single farmers can dramatically reduce the risk and dangers by finding themselves a partner who, for example, will know if their boyfriend or husband has not returned home because they are stuck under a wheel!

HSE’s Farmwise plan outlines, “Those working on their own are especially vulnerable

Saturday date ideas

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Saturday is a dating day (as is Thursday, Friday and Sunday), but the great thing about a Saturday date is that there are so many things you can do at the weekend.

A first date can say a lot about your personality, someone who is crazy may want to go on a bungee jump, whereas someone more reserved might like to go for a drink or walk. A drink or meal is a traditional and safe option, but if that is not for you, do not conform to  dating etiquette.

It is an important expression of your personality- the prospective boyfriend or girlfriend will find out your personality eventually so just be natural.

Essentially there is no simple answer on where to go, just do what feels right but I would recommend a drink in a place where you wont run into friends and if you don’t succeed this time register on Kissinggates.com to find a new date for next Saturday!
