A rare moment!

Normally I'm the one offering to take photos of people outside Skeldale House in Grassington.

This was a rare occasion, myself and my auntie were outside the most famous vet practice in the world 🌏 ( maybe the second most famous) and a gentleman offered to take our photo.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't like my photo being taken 📸. This was a lovely moment as I don't see my auntie often. My favourite auntie, I've known her all my life and we speak often on the phone.

I will treasure this photo and will always offer to take that special photo for others, combining the love of All Creatures Great and Small and the love of a family or friend....in that moment ❤️.

📅40's weekend in Grassington yesterday. What a brilliant atmosphere delivered to us by organisers and visitors. We need both and volunteers. Great success and so many smiles. A real feel good weekend of nostalgia.

I took many photos 📸 but I have many more to sort through. Thank you to all who I spoke to, very grateful for the poses and time given by our wonderful visitors.

Arncliffe was very wet during filming for season 7. I love this photo as this is a new character. She behaved so well. In the background, a crew member. He seems very important but I think we all know who is more important 🤣

Have you ever wished you could step back in time for just a few moments?

I came across this little gem while looking through one of my many photo albums from the filming of All Creatures Great and Small.

It was an early morning walk through Arncliffe in May 2025 when I noticed the village green was full of activity. Curious, I wandered over and took a few photos.

One of the gentlemen from the film set spotted me and kindly invited me into the set for a closer look at a beautiful enclosed horn gramophone. He then placed a record on it and let it play.

For a few wonderful moments, I felt as though I'd stepped back in time. It was such a simple but magical experience, and one I'll always remember.

If you're a fellow All Creatures Great and Small fan, I hope you enjoy this special little glimpse behind the scenes.

Recorded May 25 as part of the series finale - Our Heats are Full - VJ day celebrations.

The answer is rocks with a dual history involving tropical deltas and massive ice sheets.
You'd never think that while out walking.

Arncliffe Church of England VC Primary School in Littondale closed its doors in July 2011 after serving the village for 135 years. For generations, children aged 4 to 11 passed through its classrooms. A small rural school at the centre of community life.

Behind the former school rises Clowder, the striking limestone ridge that dominates the eastern side of Littondale. With its pale limestone scars and traces of prehistoric settlements, it stands as both a dramatic backdrop and a reminder of the valley’s deep history.

From its heights, wide views stretch across this quiet, steep-sided dale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a landscape shaped by time, weather and the lives of those who have called it home.

Like many small village schools across rural Britain, Arncliffe Church of England VC Primary closed not through lack of care or commitment, but through dwindling pupil numbers. Over time, fewer young families were living in isolated communities like Littondale, such as rising house prices, second homes, limited local employment and changing lifestyles made it harder to sustain year-round family life. With too few children to keep the classrooms viable, the school. Once the heartbeat of the village,
forced to close, marking not just the end of a building’s use, but a shift in the fabric of rural community life.

Now I believe the building is a private residence . But if you take a look over the wall you will still see evidence of a playground
