Yorkshire Moors

It looks bleak, but in fact it's only ten minutes from the nearest conurbation.

Ailz and I were talking about how up until about 20 years ago only the very poor lived on the moors and now you have to be a millionaire to afford the house prices.

She tells me that moorland folk are known as "moor peeps".

I was thining the same thing. It is soooo beautiful, looks quiet and solitary.

Uh...thinking the same thing.

There was a good stiff wind blowing while I was taking this.

Lovely as the landscape undoubtedly is I prefer to have a few trees around, myself.

Trees are good, too. A small cottage in the middle of a forest isn't something I'd shake my head at, were it offered.

There hills were forested once. Their present state is entirely due to them having been cleared for their timber and then used for grazing sheep. Left to themselves they would revert to woodland.

Yes, I think a few trees would be nice.

But the solitariness of it is very very tempting.
