This week I have been oh so busy. Tuesday saw me go on a coach trip to the farthest reaches of the Yorkshire Dales, we visited a beautiful town called Bedale and went on a day trip to a stately home. Thorp Perrow. Doesn't the house look like it's stepped out of a Jane Austen novel. The delight was watching a Falconer at work, seeing Meerkats for the first time, and of course wandering in the beautiful grounds. The trees were magnificent, I wish I had taken more pictures.
Perhaps it was the day out but I was suddenly inspired to write a novel set in the North Country, I started with a tremulous heart but it's coming along nicely. I am not sure it will work out but I do hope it does. Meanwhile, I shall enjoy looking at the lovely house (it's not the one in my novel by the way) and gaining inspiration.

Oh Margaret, I'm so happy to hear you're writing. My heart is singing for you.
This is a gorgeous photo. I love it that you share the sights from your part of the world with us. Someday I hope to see it all in person, but until then I'm loving seeing it through your eyes. And I completely see how this amazing home would inspire you! Simply fabulous!
Stunning photograph!!
You're over here in England? How exciting. I love visiting stately homes.
Thank you all. Yes "Shearer's Girl" I live in England. I love visiting these properties too. Although the house is private, you only can view the extensive grounds and see animals, as well as a falconry show. Excellent cafe as well.
Love this photo. It's so enchanting. I could see it as a Historical Romance bookcover.
Lovely!
I got in a muddle, thinking you were Sarita! Doh.
