Another one of my day trips out with my support worker today, visiting Thirsk and Boroughbridge, two market towns I'd not been to before...and calling at two pretty villages on the way back home.
To be honest Thirsk was a bit of a disappointment; I couldn't found many subjects to photograph...there certainly wasn't anything memorable there.
I much preferred Boroughbridge, although it's smaller than Thirsk. It seemed to have more character and more variety of buildings. We found some tearooms to have tea and cake there.
We hadn't intended to visit anywhere else but Siobhan noticed a sign pointing to Aldborough and she remembered going there many years ago. It was only two miles and not really out of our way.
We ended talking to a local woman in the churchyard and she told us the story about why the church clock needs repairing; A few months ago it chimed for thirty six cycles at three o'clock in the morning and woke up nearly everyone in the village. She also told us about the church's clock in the neighbouring village of Lower Dunsforth which has is unusual because it's red. I took a couple of photographs as we passed through.
