Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle so with no further ado I give you Scarborough fair, North Yorkshire.
You may have heard the song "Are you going to Scarborough Fair" made famous by Simon and Garfunkel.
The song is an old English folk song which is basically a sung shopping list.
Like many things in life sometimes it's better to have the imaginary idea of a place rather than the reality. Although I did spot this giant walking through town.
And this Seagull was just waiting for any unsuspecting chip carrying shopper to pass by.
As you can see it was a little wet and windy.
So we ducked inside the local shopping mall to get out of the weather.
So there you have it. Scarborough 2017. Not very romantic but that's real life for you. :)
Here is a more traditional version of the song as it may have been sung. Arranged by Mary Goetze and performed by Lumina Vocal Ensemble. Singers: Beth Madigan, Penny Dally, Rachel Sag, Saam Thorne, Anna Pope, Melnda Pike, Kate Tretheway, Rosemary Byron-Scott and Tim Muecke.
Follow me if you want. I spend most of my time on Steemit and YouTube.
Hey you stole my seagull LOL
Isn't it spooky? That seagull turning up in both our posts.
Some kind of magical seagull that can be in two places at the same time lol
What a lovely trip to North Yorkshire, look forward to seeing more photos of the beautiful countryside. Resteemed @molometer
Thanks @nataliemk it was a memorable trip and I have loads more to upload from the North Yorkshire expedition.
Sometimes it's good to get away and break our routine.
Oh...it should be so much more beautiful! They have such possibility to make it a tourist destination. The name recognition is already there. It's sad that they don't market to that. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme....
It was a bit of a surprise but I don't quite know what I was expecting either lol tip!

I agree with Melinda on this one, although, I must thank you for showing it off. And wow! That giant was quite big. LOL I have to say, it may have looked a little different on a sunny day. Perhaps. Perhaps.
But, I do appreciate strolling through. I even grabbed a little sage. I was running out. Thank you so much, my friend!! tip!

Haha I don't think the weather would improve it much. Watch out for that seagull ;)
Thanks for the tip!
