I must visit Yorkshire again. I've been to a few places, including Whitby (which is a lovely town) but not for many years and I've never been to the Moors or the Dales. Me and 'Im Indoors were just talking yesterday about how we should visit more places in the UK - perhaps Yorkshire should be high on the list. I love the sound of that crypt.

I think I might as well be talking Japanese to Mr TL if I mention Kindle to him. I can't see that I would use it to be honest. Although, I said that about my iphone and now I can't get it out of my paws.

Looks like Peter has done great things for the Yorkshire tourist board. It just seems so far away though. Driving from the SE of England to Leicester often takes me 3-4 hours. I can see a drive to Yorkshire taking about 8 hours then. I do like the idea of Whitby though, and with South Riding on the TV in the New Year, there may be other places which will be worth a visit.
