Books and sky

We went to North Yorkshire for a week, and camped on the edge of Dalby Forest on the North York Moors.  I realised that one of the most important reasons I love camping is because it forces me to slow down and do nothing.  

We went for long walks during the day, and in the late afternoon and evening I passed the time by reading (four and a half novels in five days - what a treat!) and gazing at the sky.

That's it - books and sky.

Yorkshire sunset, seen from the tent doorway last night. This photo doesn't reveal how windy it is camping on the edge of the moors! #camping #yorkshire #sunset #summer

But honestly - what more do you need?

    Maybe it is because we have dark skies. I do admire the very same skies on the school run but am jealous of the 4 1/2 novels. Mel x

    A wonderful place to watch the sky. Did you try the fish and chips in Whitby? And is that Sandsend beach? Wonderful place. Sounds like the perfect holiday :)
