This time, I didn't make it there; instead my relatives who live in Chapeltown came up to Ripon to meet us there. My husband's family are from the Barnsley area (he was born in Wath-on-Dearne), but my mother-in-law moved to Ripon years ago to be closer to her daughter.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-21664873638111210322012-05-09T14:59:38.629+02:002012-05-09T14:59:38.629+02:00I'm originally from Sheffied, South Yorkshire....I'm originally from Sheffied, South Yorkshire.
