You might expect there to be clear rules about what should happened to a family pet when a relationship comes to an end. Sadly, this is not the case. In her latest blog, family Solicitor, Debra Jackson, takes a look at the rise of the ‘Pup-nup’, and whether you should consider this when you buy or adopt a new family pet. https://lnkd.in/efshfjk7 #pupnup #prenup #divorce #divorcelaw #familylaw #york #yorkbusiness #yorkshiresolicitors

A team from Harrowells took part in the Herriot Hike last weekend, in aid of Herriot Hospice, based in Thirsk. We’re proud to support this fantastic charity, which provides care for people over a wide area of North Yorkshire. The Hike has already raised over £5,000, with donations still coming in.   The 9-mile walk included some stunning views, starting and finishing at Sutton Bank visitor centre. The team enjoyed a much-deserved cake and cuppa halfway around at High Paradise Farm.   Well done team Harrowells!
