Years ago we started watching the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small. It became a weekly ritual that we looked forward to with anticipation. With fond feelings for the author (pen name James Herriott) we set out for Thirsk, the village where he lived and had his vet practice in the Yorkshire Dales. Because of their love for Herriott, the people of Thirsk purchased his home after his death and now have a museum. (They also filmed the BBC production on site here.) We were told his son still practices veterinary medicine in the area.

We read the James Herriott stories in 7th grade (Mrs. Everist, great teacher!) and I absolutely loved them. Maybe someday I'll get to visit Thirsk.
Lindy, I miss your blog since you've gone private.
