LAID BEFORE US




 


We reached the area and were transfixed in awe only glimpsed in weather forecasts before. 

Rarely viewed quite like today. As the sunshine caressed each fold of land into fabulous display. 

As it danced around the hill tops, leaving moving patches of light and shade. 

A ridge it followed till it ended in a dramatic way. On a drop down to the valley floor it went.

Leaving us staring uneasily into the abyss, before raising eyes to probe the horizon. 

Ancient and far too beautiful to miss. 

A land worked hard by humankind for generations. 

Honing a tough, practical group, quick to humour, no shirkers of hard work. 

Whose chains will never break, no matter where the population may roam. 

The pride of this land laid before us will always remain Yorkshire.
