Happy Yorkshire Day Everyone !

Oreo

I’ve often wanted to visit the Yorkshire Dales, due to the Herriot books.

It really is quite breathtaking*Oreo*. If you ever get the chance to visit grab it, you won't regret it. We're up and around there for four days at the end of this month, can't wait.

A friend’s mother used to call any Yorkshire puddings that failed to puff up ‘Lancashire biscuits’.

My OH was born in.Harrogate where her parents were stationed during the war in a flat over the Beaumanjay's garage. They were local Indian gentry, I think.

I thought I would throw my Yorkshire jacket into the mix - purchases in York last year, tailored from wool spun and woven in a Yorkshire mill. The badge was my addition! It took me a few days to discover what was under the collar and I was tickled to death by it!

It was my love of the Herriot books years ago that encouraged us to visit Thirsk and the surrounding area and we were smitten! What a beautiful area, and the people we met on our travels were lovely. I love everything about Yorkshire.
We wanted to move to Yorkshire in the 80s but my husband had a specialist job here in Kent and there wasn’t any work available for hm there.
I did have relatives who lived in Scarborough, but it wasn’t the same as Thirsk!

It is a lovely area Crossstitchfan it's a long time since I have been back though.

Another Yorkshire lass here - although I have travelled around since then I am still proud of my roots.

My youngest daughter was born and has lived in France
all her life. She speaks English with a Yorkshire accent.
Its not just the genes passed on.
