as we got nearer to our destination the sat nav took us into some ones garden...luckily they were nice people and redirected us we should have known really when we saw the gates finally we reached our destination..the FAT LAMB.....it looked a little grim on first glance..but we were pleasantly surprised once we went inside    |

I've spent time with these, mouse, and absolutely love them. The subject is fascinating and the photography, impressive. It deserves to become a neat little book in shops of Yorkshire. Thank you so much. (10 kp) |

at the gateway to the car park were three very large trees..which stood stark against the sky..showing the marvellous patterns the boughs and branches made..the beauty of them struck me every time we left or entered looking to the right and then to the left the moors were spread out before us    |

next morning we set off in not very bright weather..but hoping for the best we set our sightes on Hawes a small town...with not a lot to recomend it...but the surrounding areas are rather good..sheep country as we drove the wind started up getting stronger and stronger [some photos wetre taken from inside the car]..     |

still on the way to Hawes...weather getting gloomier and windier finally we get there and are nearly blown away by the wind but at least the sun shines...we went to Hawes specially for the cheese factory..where there are at least a dozen different cheeses to be tasted..very good they were to I only took shots of the church and some sheep...there was nothing else of interest except a chocolate shop..    |

I've always heard Yorkshire described as "gloomy". It certainly appears to be very gloomy indeed! |
