We went down this road last Saturday during our tour of the outer edges of the North Yorks Moors National Park. What a contrast - the sun was shining and the road sat happily under blue skies - what a difference from the painting! But it is true to say that sometimes(!) it does rain in North Yorkshire and this was the scene earlier this year. I rather like the grey tones and the little bit of colour - it makes for a very atmospheric painting. This weekend we are having a family gathering from Merice's side. It's a marvellous opportunity to catch up with relatives and meet some we have never met before. But the weather forecast isn't too good for Saturday when we are having a meal together. There could well be some rain but if you've just arrived from Australia it might be a bit of a novelty though not so if you've come from Wales, Whitley Bay or Leeds! Never mind - even if it does rain I'm sure it will not dampen our spirits.
