Lillie came home on Friday night for the Easter break. She went scouting yesterday with others for suitable camp sites for the scouts for the May holidays. A list included Lancashire (it's just over the border in Tod), West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.
I really miss North Yorkshire it is so countrified, so different to this end of Yorkshire. Small villages. and I had read yesterday, in useless news, that the Howardian Hills is the place to be.
I suppose Castle Howard gives N. Yorks more credence than it should have. We never visited the interior, I get tired of looking at over dressed castles, and this one is not a defensive one more an extravagant flight of fancy. Having been so mealy mouthed over Castle Howard, here is a brilliant tour of the house and its furnishings, sculptures and just gorgeousness of the whole place. But so much easier to see from the comfort of one's computer chair. So enjoy a masterpiece of rich spending.
