Somebody here thought about which door a wet dog comes in by. The Cobbles has one on the street at the front and another at the back through an archway, and the back one lands you in the kitchen, washing machine a flight below. It is a dog friendly Victorian terrace in the middle of Ripon sleeping six, two dogs allowed, with a gated garden and a courtyard behind.

Three floors and a basement. Kitchen and diner take the back of the ground floor, the lounge the front with a log burner, and the basement holds a games room, a WC and the machine that deals with whatever the dogs bring home. The first floor gives a king, a twin with a trundle bed under it and the family bathroom. A second king has the top of the house to itself.

Nine at night and somebody has gone up to the square to watch the hornblower set the watch, which happens every evening of the year and takes four minutes. Everybody else is in the basement losing at something. The log burner is going upstairs in an empty room. Both dogs have settled at the top of the basement stairs, where they can hear the game and still see the front door. That has been their position since Tuesday.

Ripon can be crossed on foot in a quarter of an hour and holds a great deal in it. The cathedral stands over the square with a Saxon crypt beneath it, older than anything above ground for miles. The canal towpath gives a level walk out of the city with water alongside, and the Skell runs west through fields where a dog comes off the lead.
