Really enjoyed the exhibition of William Morris wallpaper at #York Art Gallery. Made me think about wallpaper in a whole new way. Only on until end of next week!

In some parts of England a woman wearing red was believed to be a witch and there were men who'd refuse to pass a woman they didn't know if she was wearing that colour.

Such a chilly walk on the Westwood today. The Westwood was gifted to Beverley in the fourteenth century by the Archbishop of York. It’s still used for grazing cattle in the summer months. #winterwalk

A very chilly stroll past the church and over the beck for me today. It was nithered(as we say in Yorkshire) when I got home.

We didn’t get much snow but we have gained an impromptu ice rink in the middle of the village ❄️

Aww, that’s so lovely. Wilf, our cat, sadly prefers fluffy blankets to laps.
