Saturday 27th May. It was Cup Final Day. There was excitement in the air. Well there probably was 238 miles to the south where Chelsea were preparing to meet Arsenal, but there was no visible outward signs of football fever in a small North Yorkshire market town.

Littel Ireland in England
Lovely travel article. Enjoyed reading it. I was in Lake district, Cumbria few weeks ago and wondered why the locals look like the Irish in Ireland. Then it occurred to me that if you take a birds-eye view of the UK and Ireland map then you will see that Ireland had broken off from UK landmass, perhaps few million years ago. And so the Cambrian Celtic-Irish got separated from their cousins in Ireland and so the Little-Ireland in Cumbria in UK.
