> So where are the Yorkshire downs?
Poetic license?
The East Yorks and North Lincs Wolds are a half-decent substitute!
I wouldn't say the mountains "tower" within two hours driving either, but
on Sunday, we'll be walking at Buckden in the Dales, hail rain or snow.
100 miles from here - magnificent views. The "three peaks" take some
beating too.
"Heartbeat" Country - the heather-clad North Yorks Moors is not much
more than an hour's blast on my motor bike. Looking very good right now!
Nice poem though eh, even though it was a tad soppy?
Quote of the day:
"God and the doctor we alike adore,
But only when in danger - not before.
The danger o'er both are requited,
God forgotten - the doctor slighted"
