We’re just back from a fortnight’s cottage holiday in North Yorkshire, where the weather was a bit iffy but we still found plenty of places to enjoy ourselves with new discoveries amongst those already familiar to us. It also meant we could spend time with the Yorkshire branches of our family – now plural as our niece has settled down into her new home in Leeds.

Postcard from yorkshire: Quick Notes
It wasn’t all rain, there was still lots of sunshine and we often found rainbows gracing the valleys seen from our higher viewpoints. I feel my photo sums up quite a lot of the Yorkshire we found this time: dramatic skies with rainbows and pools of sunshine; brooding stone walls; and vegetation sliding into its more Autumnal clothes. This was the roadside scene close to Stump Cross Caverns, a welcome venue on a rainy day which we explored with UV light torches.
There was space and time to breathe deeply and ponder recent dramatic turns in life, then return home refreshed and ready to face what’s to come.
Postcard from yorkshire appears here to highlight key ideas for readers.
In Yorkshire’s embrace, where the moors breathe deep,
Stone walls whisper tales to the wind’s soft sweep.
The river hums a tune, old as the hills,
While heather paints the earth in purple thrills.
The cobbled lanes, worn smooth by time’s own hand,
Hold secrets of the past, in every stand.
A land of grit and grace, where the wild things play,
Yorkshire’s heart beats strong, come what may.
“Beautifully penned, a love letter to Yorkshire’s wild and gentle soul, where nature’s beauty forever will unfold.”
