In many villages and small towns in Yorkshire, even shops and pubs have beautiful flowers outside, mostly in hanging baskets.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-61720425496649376542016-08-23T19:15:42.793+02:002016-08-23T19:15:42.793+02:00The weather wasn't too bad; just a bit rainy i...The weather wasn't too bad; just a bit rainy in Leyburn and dry again in Aysgarth.<br />Yes, most churches are on top of a hill or in the (flat) middle of a village, unlike this one!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-78643013791563666892016-08-23T15:51:57.634+02:002016-08-23T15:51:57.634+02:00More wonderful photos from Yorkshire.

I suppose that some churchyards have to be hilly but I think they usually tried to put churches on top of hills, or in flat places. Would make digging the graves easier, I suppose.
