A Grand Day Out

We drove back from the coast over the Yorkshire Wolds, the undulating plateau to the South.
In a village called Wetwang we stopped for refreshment.
The village pub was flying the rebel flag of Yorkshire, which used to be illegal.
It is, of course, the White Rose.

The weather ws perfect for the time of year, as my shadow shows.
A duck came out to see who was there and experience the honeyed 70 degree air away from the Village Pond. We continued through the Vale of York and through Leeds to:
the original Harry Ramsden restaurant in Guiseley.
It was dark by then.
Harry does the best Cod in Yorkshire, with the possible exception of one or two Whitby restaurants.
Guiseley also used to be famous for Silver Cross Perambulators, the Rolls-Royce of prams; the factory closed last year and has already been demolished.
I expect they'll build more houses.
And people will buy them, with what, I don't know.

But we don't have to let that spoil a grand day out.
