My stepping stones were much admired in last week’s Which Way post so I thought I’d share with you another idyllic and very English scene in the North Yorkshire village of Lealholm. I don’t take many photos of people but this little family setting really made me smile. Join me in the gallery.
Lealholm has the prettiest little bridge
And, of course, those stepping stones.
Here we have my husband looking downstream
At an intrepid youngster.
I love the patience of “big sis” and the determined little fella.
It’s a lovely tranquil spot.
Innocent pleasures! It’s nice to see they’re still around.
I thought I’d take part in Cee’s Which Way Challenge again this week because it will be fortnightly from now on. Alternate weeks will be a black and white photo challenge, and that’s a whole different ball game.

It’s a favourite, Cathy (and you’d love “Beck’s View”, the tearooms 🙂
Really shook up over Anita Mac. The life she had, just gone! So sad. Her partner must feel … well! The whole travelling/writing thing seems trivial suddenly. Be careful what you wish for, you know? Thanks for the email Cathy and take care of yourself.

Picnics, sheep on the village green, stepping stones- it’s pure poetry, Debbie. In fact, there’s a small, very pretty garden centre there called Poet’s Corner 🙂
