Decided to escape Edinburgh for the weekend and ended up at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Honestly, 500 acres of rolling hills, lakes, and massive art pieces just sitting in the wild. 🌳✨

I spent half the time pretending to deeply understand the contemporary sculptures and the other half trying to make friends with the local sheep (spoiler: they were not interested in me at all 🐑). It’s so lovely just wandering through the woods and stumbling upon these huge installations.

Of course, being a barista, I had to scout out the food situation first. Grabbed a cheeky flat white and a slice of cake at their cafe before heading into the indoor galleries. Not a bad brew at all! ☕️🍰 

Such a wholesome vibe with families, dogs, and cute elderly couples just strolling around. My legs are absolutely dead from all the walking, but it was so worth it! 🙌
