Tea Terrace
The ‘Look Gallery’ at Helmsley needed some enamels. I took pictures of my latest work (here is one), packed a dozen and took them to Helmsley, a town on the other side of the North Yorkshire Moors.
The gallery took a dozen copies of my novel ‘Tom Fleck’ – so, feeling euphoric, I began taking pictures.

Brown's Store in Helmsley
I caught up with Beryl in a frock shop. Here she is trying to spend ‘Tom Fleck’s’ royalties and my enamelling profits
The town has a Norman castle for keeping Saxons and Danes in feudal order.
And a scarecrow to intimidate birds.
I bought a very good pasty at this Deli. When I was a beekeeper this shop used to buy my honey every Autumn.
So, that was Sunday.
I missed this last week – what a treat to have two ‘days’ to catch up on today! That enamel is beautiful.
As is the scarecrow. But not in the same league!
What a good day – I anejoyed it vicariously:) I LOVE the photo of the standing stones on your header. Fantastic – did you tae that photo? Just stunning. I would so love to stand in the presence of such stones, and absorb the energy field around them.
Hello Sherry. I did take the picture. The Isle of Lewis and the Callanais circle are remote but worth the effort. I found it difficult to walk away from that ancient place – it is older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids.
What a gorgeous enamel, and again I loved the little trip to another place

Great photos, Harry. Love the seedy (CD) scarecrow.
PS. that is a really nicely composed photo of Beryl in the clothes shop.
Hello Beryl!
Wonderful photos Harry. It sounds like a good day, it is nice to have a day out when there is a purpose to it too. I like your enamel and how wonderful that they took some copies of your book too!
I am so glad that you joined us on I Saw Sunday, I missed seeing your name in the linky earlier! (I was late posting my entry this week.)
Have a wonderful week.
