Well I don’t fall into that category but wish you all well and if you pass the champagne will join you🍾🥂

Me too. I should’ve been born in Harrogate, but Mum came up to Durham to see her family before Christmas ‘50 and (family illness) ended up staying until after I’d been born.

I’m from SW London, but just back from a visit to family in the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales, so I’ll raise a 🥂to that!

Yorkshire is close to perfection as it’s next to Lancashire!

Happy Yorkshire Day!

I’m the youngest of 5. Parents and siblings all born in North Yorkshire but had moved south before I was born. I’ve never forgiven them!!

I’m pretty sure it’s God’s own country, not county. I’m North Yorkshire born and bred. We’ve got the flag out today!

You’re right, it is Country not County.

Apologies, thought I’d typed Countrygrin

Looks like we're both wrong LizzieDrip - I actually put County in my OP 😂. Another one from the South here too

I have a daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren in Yorkshire. What a beautiful county it is. I will be there again in a few weeks time and can't wait. Happy Yorkshire Day to the lovely people who are lucky enough to live there. X
