North York Weather Vanes


A selection of some I saw......



 

York to Crayke





  Walking through golden fields of wheat...and nettles, with a short detour to York City training ground...then to Crayke. I could see York minster 14 miles or so away on the skyline...




Bile Beans

Loved this Bile Beans advert painted onto the gable end of a house on Bishop's Walk in York (Start of my walk from York Minster to Whitby Abbey)

The Glow of Aunty Eileen's Cigar



.
We bade farewell to a complete One Off, Aunty Eileen "The Dreaded" Shaw. Here's a few old News of the Stews featuring Eileen. Remembering the glow of her cigar......first from 2005, Robin's 40th at "The Green" in Hope, Derbyshire......


 

A close-up here of our 2007 trip to Pine Lodge, Lincolnshire..

.............and the full back page on which Peter Stewart makes his appearance.........

News of the Stews 2008, the magnificent Colloquy in Herefordshire for Kate's 40th, with a fleeting glimse of Eileen heading off to a National Trust garden with Pat, probably returning with stuffed vine leaves for tea.....

Cantre'r Gwaelod

The eery sight of the prehistoric forest emerges from the sea at low tide.....and is liked to the legend of  Cantre'r Gwaelod, a land flooded when Seithennyn the Watchman forgot to shut the sea gates.....
