Hardy photographers from my camera club (well, myself and two others!) were not put off by the rain at the start of our planned walk round Grassington's wildflower meadows a few weeks ago. Upper Wharfedale, with its lush greenery, dry stone walls and stone field-barns, can look stunning on a sunny, summery day but the drizzle and low cloud brought a different kind of beauty - and it didn't rain for all of the day!
(We're having a heatwave now, so these cool photos are nice to look back on.)
It was in such Dales buildings that my veterinary auntie used to bring newborn animals into an inhospitable, freezing cold world, usually around 2AM! We read Alf Whyte's "Let Sleeping Vets Lie" and she was highly amused. They knew each other well.
