Well this Yorkshire Lass is
Mandy.
I was born and brought up in a village in the Yorkshire Dales not
far from Harrogate. In my late 20's I moved to Brittany, France with my
husband and our 2 year old son. During my time in France I had two more
children, a daughter and another son. At this point I won't go into my
life spent in Brittany as that's another story!
After spending 23 years living in France I made the move, with my
youngest son, back to Yorkshire. We have now been here for just over 3 years
and I have had various jobs since coming back but am now settled in a job I
thoroughly enjoy with the added benefit of working from home. I haven’t exactly got back ‘Home’ yet, but
not far away. I now live in a village on the border of North Yorkshire and the
East Riding of Yorkshire.
Why have I started Blogging?
Just recently I have been thinking a lot about how my life has
changed in many ways over the last few years. I am happy with my new life back
in Yorkshire and am rediscovering Yorkshire through new eyes. The eyes of a 50 something, not those of a
young girl who didn’t really appreciate what was on offer at the time. So, I
have decided that I must make the most of my days off to see as much as I can,
both locally and a little further afield. I wanted to document the places,
restaurants, pubs and cafes, country homes and gardens I visit, so thought that
creating a blog would keep all these outings and memories in one place; which I
could also share with anyone who just happens to be interested.
