A Day Trip to the North

A couple of Saturdays ago, there was a wonderful heat wave that hit England. We thought it would probably be our last chance to get out and enjoy the sun before the rainy fall weather took over! And we were right-the Monday that followed was rainy and windy! Anyway, when I was little, I read the series of books by James Herriot about his life as a veterinarian in North Yorkshire. I absolutely adored these books as a child-he described Yorkshire so beautifully, I could picture the green hills so perfectly.  I loved his stories about the people he met and the animals he helped--sometimes sad but usually funny. I read so many stories as a young girl about Yorkshire or by authors from Yorkshire--maybe I was always destined to come here. :) 

I love this book! AND the others that followed :) .
