[Leica] Counties of Roses desperately OT

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

I hadn't heard that one before - must remember it.

It was good to read recently that a lot of the wonderful countryside 
around Ribblesdale, Dentdale and the Howgills is now open to walkers.
The Duchy of that unspeakable house has been forced to grant access 
under new legistlation. 
One good bloke did come out of Lancashire, and stayed in the White Rose 
Country (but within fleeing distance should there be a native uprising) 
- Mike Harding - an excellent writer, humorist, musician (and 
photographer), has now lived in Dent for many a year.
