Good Fences in Yorkshire

There is a reason that people visit England in the springtime and summer. The weather is nice, the flowers are abundant, and every possible tourist venue is up and running. That is definitely not the case with the month of March. You might find that the Elizabethan manor house or abbey you wanted to visit is closed until May. But if you want to see the landscape dotted with sheep and new baby lambs, March is the time to visit England.

'Maaaaa-maaaa!'

I'll admit that sheep and lambs were not the main reason we first decided to visit England in March. Lower prices on airfare, lower prices on B&Bs, shorter lines to attractions, and because March is just prior to the time when Mr. Cranberry's construction business revs up, are the reasons we took our vacation to England in March. (Not this March. We had to stay in Wisconsin to watch the snowflakes accumulate.)

So although they were not the main reason for visiting England in March, the sheep and darling baby lambs are a HUGE bonus. They were dotting every Yorkshire pasture (it seemed).

Come back tomorrow for more photos of England and sheep on my Anglophile Friday post. Yes, it is the month of May, but here in NW Wisconsin, it does feel more like March in England. And besides, I was due for a dose of cute sheep.

There are five types of fences (and gate) materials in this post. Can you name them?

March visitors can find a few flowers in bloom

thanks to the sweet daffodils.

Click on this link to see English Country Gardens images from Google. Although the flowers are beautiful, I would rather be there during lambing season.

Maybe next year.
