Yorkshire Day

Ey oop. Can I wish everyone on JUB, especially the handful of members who are fellow Yorkshiremen, a very happy Yorkshire Day.

Thank you Sweetie.

Yay for Yorkshire, home of delicious pudding! (Yes, I know there is more to it at that, but frankly after the invention of Yorkshire Pudding, you really all could have just rested on your laurels forever and it would still be spoken about in the highest terms).

Some Yorkshire Puddings for Bankside.

To honour Yorkshire today it may be apt to remember the past with Ivor Brown's The Moorland Map:

Our maps are music and our northern titles,
Like wind among the grass and heather, grieve.
Our maps are candid charts of desolation
And wear the Pennine weather on their sleeve.

There's Howel Moor, Wetshaw, Winterings and Gutters,
Mirk Fell and Dirty Pool and Hagworm Hill,
Fog Close, Cold Syke, Ravock, and Crooks Altar,
And Loups and Wham and Whaw and Rotten Gill.

Our maps are music and they sing the miners'
Old wrestle with the rock for yield of lead;
There's Old Gang, Windegg, Eskeleth, and Crackpot,
And Racca Vein, forsaken. They are dead.

Our maps are music and they sing the farmers`
Long battle to wring fodder from the fell;
There`s Stony Mea and Nettlepot and Sour Nook,
There`s Pasture End and Halfpenny, and Farewell.

Really lovely isn't it?

 

[unloadonme]

I raise a glass to Yorkshire! Or should that be cup (Yorkshire Tea)?

A glass of Yorkshire ale will do nicely.

Malham! I know it well. It is lovely round there.

Did All Creatures Great and Small do a good job of mirroring Yorkshire?

It was filmed here, so geographically yes. It was set in the 1930s though and as I wasn't around then I can't really say what it was like! I met the real James Herriott (Alf Wight) btw. Nice man.

Thanks Ronboy. You've been over here?

Happy Yorkshire Day! I enjoy your puddings!

 

[ronboy]

No my friend, I have not.
But over the years, all of the wonderful UK men who have posted pics here at JUB have simply captivated me.
I am afraid that if I go there on holiday, I may never want to return home!

As you're from New York, you should try visiting the original York.

As you're from New York, you should try visiting the original York.

I have a postcard of York Cathedral that my Aunt and Uncle sent to me when they were in the UK (my uncle worked for Xerox), years ago.

My aunt said that York is a very old city with lots of great bookstores (she and I share a love for books).

It is definitely on my "must see" list!
