Welcome from Michigan as well. I'm a wee bit north of Kyle. Now the real question, don't I remember Harrogate from the stories of Yorkshire's most famous veterinarian?

We do indeed have it on US television and my wife is devoted to that show!

Yes we are anxiously awaiting the new show debuting here.
Being in Greater Los Angeles "spot the location" is a game here too, because the Hollywood studios will film locally no matter where the show is supposed to take place. For example one old downtown LA street where they changed all the licence plates on the parked cars to Illinois plates, changed the shop window signs, because the street was supposed to look like Chicago for a TV commercial.

Yes indeed! And in addition to all the wonderful things you name, there's also (for history nuts like my wife and me) Hadrian's Wall and all those Roman forts, some of which we've visited.

The new adaptation debuted on PBS tonight. A beautiful place to live. You are blessed.

Welcome from the wretchedly frigid, snowy, icy, southernmost point of the Great North American Freshwater Inland Seas.

Welcome from New England, USA! I was raised in North Yorkshire, half my siblings born there as well. Going back (and heading Northways past the border again ) has been on my bucket list ever since we left. Hope you're enjoying it there. - Kam

I'm sure you would feel right at home . We are seeing signs of spring after what feels like a long winter. The snowdrops have been out for a week or 2 and the crocuses have made their usual sudden appearance. A particularly cold spell came to an end last week - literally in the space of an afternoon - and since then the woods have been full of birds . Hope you and yours are coping well with the New England winter.
Regards, EEM.
