ashetlandpony24-27 July 1969
After Ireland, we at last arrived at the place I'd been itching to get to since our trip started three weeks ago: Florence's home town of Skipton, in Yorkshire. I'd fallen in love with the place during our first visit in 1967; not just the town itself, but the whole of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales.
Unfortunately, I've found that I've developed a case of writer's block when it comes to Skipton in 1969. I can't really think of much to say about it. Well, that's not entirely true– there are things I could write about– but they wouldn't be very interesting– either to me or to anyone else– so consequently, I haven't been able to summon the muse.
So, I guess what I'll do is just post my diary entries for these days, and let you read about Skipton Castle again. That was probably the best fun I had during our first stop in Yorkshire: getting to have the ancient Clifford fortress and its grounds all to myself for an afternoon.
Anyway, as of today, the 26th, our trip is now half-over, and day-after-tomorrow, we will be on our way to visit relatives in Salford, near Manchester, then on to Cheshire and Wales for more sightseeing.
