Classic #Yorkshire #Moors above #Ilkley

I don't know what's in Betty's fat rascals but yesterday in an Ilkley charity shop, a very elderly, very posh woman was sat reading a book in the changing cubicle. "I don't suppose I should be in here reading," she said to a passing man.

A woman went towards the cubicle to try on some clothes. "Come in, come in, don't mind me. I don't mind you getting changed, not at all," said the elderly woman not moving an inch as the bemused shopper squeezed in.

@BrentToderian @lloydalter And not just urban bikers. I'm very uncomfortable about cycling into my local town along a narrow A road.
So I don't, sadly.

First print of a #WoodEngraving finished this afternoon. The Old Bridge, #Ilkley, over the River Wharfe. Photo taken in better weather - today was very wet and the river was in flood.

Some days we do a family trip out and it's good, sometimes its cheap cos there's nowt we want; today was good but a few hours in #Ilkley can be expensive.

Walkers are Welcome Town - Burley in Wharfedale

Burley in Wharfedale is a community of around 7,500 people and lies on the River Wharfe between Ilkley and Otley on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.

With its associated hamlets of Burley Woodhead and Stead it covers 4.9 square miles about half of which is moorland at a height of 300 metres and above.

One of the many river goddesses of #Celtic lands, Verbeia was the resident spirit of the River Warfe, known from inscriptions at a Roman fort in Yorkshire. Local legend has it that the river goddess appeared on #Beltane morning, on May 1, in the form of a white horse. Anyone seeing the apparition should be wary of drowning in the river’s spring flood.
