This is the village of Buckden in Upper Wharfedale. I arrived here one warm afternoon last week feeling a bit hungry and thirsty. Imagine my delight to see the sign at the side of the road pointing across to the Tea Rooms. I walked over to there to find the sign over the door saying “Tea Rooms at the rear”. So I walked round to the rear to find another sign proclaiming there was an “All Day Menu”. Oh good, I thought, so I went over to the door to find a “CLOSED” sign in the window!! 😦
“Oh well” I thought (or words to that effect) “I’ll carry on a couple of miles into the hamlet of Cray, there’s a nice little pub there”. I arrived in Cray a little hungrier and a little more thirsty only to find another sign . . . . . TO LET!!
Oh flippin’ heck, I thought, 😉 I must remember to pack a picnic basket next time out. Not all bad news though, at least the scenery was as glorious as ever.
Is it open or shut?
It’s so annoying when that happens! Vintage B&W, or really I should say sepia. So reminiscent of years gone by. Nice shot Frank
Thank you! Yes, years gone by, fortunately some places still keep that look and feel that I feel comfortable with. 😉
