So, Singapore, why are you interested in my blog? Do tell.
Does anyone else get sudden sharp rises in their viewing numbers? Are there gaggles of teenagers in internet cafes sifting through my blog, or trying to find information about me.
Well you are welcome to my blog, nothing of interest in there for you. In fact I shall find you some nice quiet photos of my life here in Yorkshire. (and elsewhere)
My daughter is spending the weekend in Sheffield. Sheffield I spluttered, who goes to Sheffield for a weekend ;) Alright Y/P I am joking, she says there are nice buildings around the town. They were going to do a barge trip, but the barge did not look up to the mark.
This is Piggledene, a run of the great sarsens that Avebury stones are made of, which is just a few miles down the road.
Another capture
Silbury Hill, again just down the road from Avebury. The largest
man made barrow in Europe
North Yorkshire moors when the heather is brown
A Yorkshire Beck
This is Moss who has been dead for many a long year, on his favourite walk through the ransomes, so it must be early spring
If I had known your daughter was coming to Sheffield I could have given her a guided tour. I imagine that the barge was on the Tinsley-Sheffield canal. My wife has done that trip several times without sinking.
Your photos always make me think that I would enjoy traveling around Yorkshire. Pottering about in the English/Scottish countryside was something I always hoped to do--never mind London!
Britain's landscapes Sharon are very changeable and interesting from the soft chalk downs of Wiltshire to the grey hard stone of Yorkshire but with all its moors and soft dales very different. The trouble is getting round at the moment, the trains staff are often on strike!
South East Asia wants us all to gamble with them. They will throw in an escort as well.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds interesting.
DeleteHeather and a Yorkshire Beck - my idea of heaven.
ReplyDeleteYes a lot of water round here but the becks are up on the moors Pat, I miss Mirk Mire Moor.
DeleteFunny video! It's like when the electricity goes off and we realize all of the things we do that depend on electricity...
ReplyDeleteIt made me laugh Ellen, there is a sort of bitter truth in it. We are losing the functioning of our own self- sufficiency.

ReplyDeleteThat is a kind thought Neil, They seemed to have eaten well and gone to the cinema and are enjoying themselves.
