I do declare that I am proud of my very smart Yorkshire working class roots.
And as I have said before:
Manchester made me, l’d have to say.
But I was once a Yorkshire lass.
Born and bred there some time past.
Thankful to have some Northern grit.
And what the world needs now is some Northern wit!
A little bit of Yorkshire lives on in my garden in leafy Cheshire.
My husband had the presence of mind to bring a rhubarb root from my dad’s rhubarb patch to plant in our garden at home in Cheshire. My dad’s Yorkshire rhubarb is still flourishing year after year even today, 30 years after my dad died.
The legacy of my Yorkshire parents lives on in many different ways.
Watch out for some much needed Northern wit …
