Dear Katy Squire
Hello again! Just a line to let you know that last weekend my wife and I visited the
Yorkshire Dales, staying in Wharfedale. What a lovely part of the country! And such
nice people.
The only disappointment apart from the unseasonable weather was with the Yorkshire
Tea which we drank whilst in Yorkshire. For some reason it didn't taste nearly so
good as it does here in Derbyshire. As a matter of fact it wasn't all that easy to
come by either, and I had to get the landlady at the guest house where we were staying
to buy in some Yorkshire Tea specially, as she 'Allus got that tea what t'monkeys
advertises on t'telly as it were a bloody seet tastier', as she charmingly put it.
I wonder if this could have something to do with the water? I ask this because the
domestic water supply in the High Peak is excellent, and far superior to the water
which emerged through our tap in Grassington. In fact my wife refused point blank
to drink Grassington tap water and I had to go all the way to Skipton to get her a
bottle of Perrier, but then she's always been a bit squeamish about what she'll put
in her mouth ever since our honeymoon. (When she got drunk on Cherry B.)
You remember the Vicar I introduced to Yorkshire Tea? The other day he ran off
with a lady bellringer, but I doubt it was anything to do with drinking your tea.
Yours faithfully  |
