One of the things that gets me exploring Britain and Ireland is the prospect of bringing away some pleasing photos of my own making with me. Not only has that fostered the growth of an interest in hillwalking and cycling but it also has driven me to further the photography itself. All that has created the library of images from which the collections that you find here have been drawn.

Betty's, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England

Betty's, whose home dominates the photo above, is a tea shop and Harrogate institution. The building itself crowns Montpelier Parade and its main entrance is on Parliament Street. However, watch out for the queues and those prices! Nevertheless, the experience is worth it: how many other cafeterieres can boast live piano accompaniment? Not only this but you can go celebrity-spotting as well. Alf Wight (a.k.a. James Herriot) was a regular until his death in 1996.
