Wet

When Diva packed short-sleeve tops, a wool cardigan, a fleece and a wind-proof coat, she did not imagine that she would wear them all at once. With a scarf. To the Rydale Folk Museum, which somehow didn't have any life about it, perhaps because of the cold and rain. The best bit was the Harrison collection, which really was a lot of items collected by two brothers called Harrison. They are diverse enough that they are really many many collections and they have been displayed in that way. About 10,000 items ranging from household items to toys and tools. I think they just acquired as much as they could and the curators have displayed it all well in a beautiful building.

There was also an art and poetry exhibition, with this brilliant poem called 'Yorkshire Chic' - apologies to those with limited knowledge of Northern English dialect. TSH took a picture of it and will try to photoshop it so its readable here at a later date.

The museum is in a place called Hutton- le Hole, which has sheep wandering freely around.
