Chastened by this sad affair Val became a nun
Unaware til later her oven held a bun
She told Mother Superior it was a gift from up above
For Jesus son of God was her one true love
The nuns all cheered and Hallelujah they all sung

Lots of red brick in South Yorks.  North Yorkshire is like a different country!  

NB Hawes sounds nothing like Whores when I say it, I bet Raven would agree!  

You're spoiled with so many natural beauties living up there.

My one and only view the other week was pretty washed out and I'd need to drive quite a way to find truly dark skies even though most of the sodium street lights were replaced by what appear to be poundshop torches on a stick some years back.

That looks lovely, Diasi.  Thank you.

Yes that's true, I do have the alerts on. Even after years of seeing the lights they still fascinate me as much as the first time I saw them.
I remember Dunc waking me up and telling me to get dressed, he drove me to the beach where I just stood on the sands staring upwards, and watching them dance slowly around me while he grinned like a loon at the look my face.

Crikey, this post has made me miss my home area which I rarely think about.
