Sunday lunch as I promised: the best garlic mushrooms I have ever tasted. Then fish pie with salmon, haddock and prawns. Ate too much so no dessert, just coffee and a chocolate.
The farmer meanwhile, much more healthily, climbed Penn Hill in Wensleydale with seven friends, so I leave you with a lot of photographs which he took. The weather was glorious, the sky clear. I hope it stays that way for the eclipse tonight. If you look in the distance of one of the photographs you will see Bolton Hall - the home of Lord Bolton (Orde-Powlett) and splendid building on the banks of the River Ure. Enjoy.
The stone 'plinth' on the topmost point is where the beacon is lit for special occasions (like The Millennium). Aren't we lucky to live in such a beautiful place?

Just googled to see how high Pen Hill is and Phew! what a climb - well done the farmer and thank you for sharing the lovely photos
Storybook bucolic. Yes, what a wonderful place to live.
Wonderful views in all directions. Thank you to the farmer for taking such beautiful photos. You do indeed live in a lovely part of the country.
Stunning views.
A wonderful place to walk with terrific views. You have history everywhere you look.
Beautiful day for the farmer and pals to have final walk of the season. I enjoyed the photos very much. The farmer certainly earned his tea and I hope it included a large slice of cake.
Splendid views Pat!
Walking is such good exercise too and your lunch has made my mouth water for fish pie is one of my favourite meals.
Yes, you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
Lovely views no matter where you look.
cheers, parsnip
Well now I have a craving for fish pie! Gorgeous views, what beautiful countryside :o)
Eh, it's grand is Yorkshire!
Beautiful. Your fish pie sounded good too.
Lovely photos. In one, it looks as though there is a small nuclear bomb going off on the skyline.
It is indeed beautiful.
I would offer to rebuild that collapsed pile; as long as I was delivered to the spot by helicopter every morning.
How do you stay so slim?
The farmer has obviously recovered fully from his aches and pains caused by too much tractor time. Well done to him!
How lovely the y had the weather on there side for the climb, stunning views, your lunch out sounds lovely we had garlic mushrooms for dinner last night as well :-)
The history and beauty of your country.....amazing!
Oh yes indeed, you are very lucky to live in Yorkshire!
It's grand to see those fine photographs of a beautiful afternoon, and to see that the Farmer is well recovered.
(That lunch sounds very fine, too.)

Thanks to you all for joining in and also for enjoying the views. Wish I could still climb. As for the farmer's aches and pains - he belongs to that school of thought that says you have to keep going however many aches and pains you have, otherwise you just stiffen up. I am sure he is correct.
Now I have to make fish pie!
Not to mention go for a walk!
You certainly are :) And the garlic mushrooms sound delicious!
Your header is just beautiful! I love the "mother country" and would really like to travel there some day.
