Lovely photo and typical of sheep  - maybe not so sensible if it's snowing though. |

It's cropped from this one which has even more immediate appeal, but I wish the horse was looking the other way or had a mate. Some proper sun would have been nice. Near Newton on Rawcliffe.  |

I fitted an oil tank in Newton in Rawcliffe in 2002.
We drove up from Suffolk, arrived in Pickering for when the bakery opened (Thomas & Bakers maybe? By looking on Google earth it looks to be about the right location) and bought a bag of yum-yums - as I have never seen them in Suffolk at that time but had them from there on holiday - before heading up to the village to do the job.
Quite how it can be economic to send a couple of fitters all that way to fit an oil tank is beyond me but any trip to either the moors or the dales would go unquestioned by me.....
A very picturesque area.....

It must have been Thomas because I haven't seen Yum Yums in other shops. South of the moors is on limestone and there are a lot of these rather curious little dry valleys (you also get on the wolds at larger scale). Some of the wet spells of recent years have shown that on occasion they do still run water so it's less hard to explain how they are formed without imagining very different conditions just after the ice age or something. This flash flood event in 2005 is a similar small dry valley near Fadmoor a few miles to the west. Walls were knocked over and channels scoured through crops and grass, but a few years later it's as if nothing happened.   |
