Ist August is always a special day here in God’s Country,as it is known locally.And I am always reminded of a special friend of many on Goy, Val,who is no longer with us,and just loved everything about Yorkshire ,which was her ‘user name’ .
I know all who knew her, miss her wonderful sense of humour,and her friendship
Our favourite Emblem,and of many today,
The White Rose of Yorkshire.xxx

A beautiful rose, Sandra! Happy Yorkshire day…I am originally from Ayrshire, but moved to East Yorkshire in the late 90s. I’m happy to be an adopted Yorkshire lass!!!!

Both my girls sent me a text at 6 and 6.30 respectively reminding me it was Yorkshire day. They are both Yorkshire and very very proud of their heritage. But I am a Mackum [born in Sunderland!] and Yorkshire via marriage.
