My mother was very understanding. <br />I firmly believe we all of us would do better if, like the old man sitting on his porch with his hands in his lap said when questioned at to what he was doing :"sometimes Ah jes sits'n thinks an sometimes ah jees sits . . ."Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-17729062111289620352013-06-06T18:44:22.007-07:002013-06-06T18:44:22.007-07:00I'm from Yorkshire -not very far from you at a...I'm from Yorkshire -not very far from you at all!-but now live in Canada. I've been here 12 years; three of my children were born here; for all purposes it IS home. But, say the word 'home' to me and I am instantly transported back to dales, moors, hawthorn, sloes, gurgling becks, and right now, the smell of green, and lambing time.

They invite conversation!<br />I grew up in Bucks and feel the pull but what I don't understand is why I have a similar yearning for Yorkshire. My father spoke of an ancestor who was an itinerant stone dresser from Yorkshire and married a dairymaid from Devon. Presumable he met her on his travels. This is going back several generations but could it explain my fondness for Yorkshire?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-46908644423964952013-06-06T07:37:15.451-07:002013-06-06T07:37:15.451-07:00Not ga-ga at all.
