It’s only words …. but no cake?

Playing Scrabble in French is challenging enough, but what’s really missing is a break for tea and cake

Welcome to the weekend! 🙌 We love this view shared with us by photographer Alec Scott.

If you're in the #YorkshireDales #NationalPark please:

🚮 Take all your litter home
🌊 Stay safe around water
🦮 Keep dogs on leads
😎 Have a great time!

A winding country road cuts through a lush, rolling landscape of green and golden fields in a rural area. Scattered across the hills are numerous small, stone barns with weathered roofs, enclosed by traditional dry stone walls. The sky above is dramatic, filled with thick, dark clouds hinting at an approaching storm. The scene evokes a peaceful yet moody atmosphere, typical of the Yorkshire Dales

Littondale is a classic u-shaped glacial valley off Upper Wharfedale. The shallow River Skirfare meanders across the farmed valley floor and disappears below ground for much of the year north of the hamlet of Litton.

A sweeping view of a sunlit valley in the Yorkshire Dales, featuring gently sloping hills with scattered stone walls and lush green fields; a patch of trees follows the valley floor while rugged moorland rises in the distance under a partly cloudy sky.

Situated on what was the turnpike route from Sheffield to Chapel-en-le-Frith and Buxton in the Sheffield village of Ringinglow. This somewhat extravagant tollhouse was erected in 1778. An octagonal turret, of three stories and in the Gothic style of the period.
