We had a lovely week in East Yorkshire, a part of the country neither of us knew at all. The weather was kind, and we stayed in an excellent cottage - actually a converted chapel.
We visited large houses -
- with tea rooms. There were gardens -
We explored towns inland and on the coast -
That's the beach at Bridlington, looking towards Flamborough Head.
And we walked -
A distant view of Hornsea Mere, which is apparently the biggest lake in Yorkshire.
We watched the wildlife from the garden of the cottage -
A Suffolk cross ewe and a Texel ram. The ram's harness carries a container of dye or paint so that the farmer can tell when the ram's work is done.
And there were a few amusing spelling errors; a display about farming had oxen spelled as "oxon" (well-educated animals?), and this was in a ladies' loo -

Well, if I were a tank serving a sanitary facility, I'd probably be pretty wary of the users...
And it always seems rather churlish to point out spelling errors - more fun to leave them.
this made me smile!
