This is one of many stone crosses on the North York moors-marking the way for lonely travellers. People leave money on Fat Betty for luck. I left some too-you never know...
I love that shop at the top of your blog. I know I would find lots of things to buy there and wish I hadn't bought them when I got home. What did you buy?
Sarah, I am so enjoying your posts of your holiday! I have to see Fat Betty for myself one day. Nothing like a little change in one's pocket to make a girl feel special! (I always leave a coin for Ganesh when I go to Indian restaurants, too.) Candace
Hi Di! I have been to Yorkshire a number of times now and have to agree with you. We went to a wedding in Harrogate and it was on Yorkshire day. We saw Richard Whitely on the tv in the morning and he said " You can tell a Yorkshireman, but you can't tell him much" I do not remember quotes often gut that one stuck with me! I was good Helen-I didn't buy anything-I went to the beach and picked up a rainbow of stones instead. Let me know when you are doing your walk Shell and I will come with you! I know a good pub for lunch! And you Liz! Thanks Kendalee-we had such a good time! It's true Miz Katie-she may! I did not know about leaving a coin for Ganesh-though I do know the story of how he became an elephant headed being-sad so sad-I will leave him money now too.

Oooh I love Yorkshire! Glad you had a good time. I used to live in West Yorkshire... loved it and miss it still.

ReplyDeleteI always wanted to walk on the Moors! The day I do I will be looking for Fat Betty and leave money. Glad you liked the post on the creative process.
ReplyDeleteI would have left money too!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Fat Betty will hold up her end of the bargain! Loving these posts of your holiday...
ReplyDeletei like your belief system.."you never know". that's the same way i think, too. fat betty may have magical qualities, you just never, never know.
