'Life is a lot of noise between two long periods of silence'
This is a walk which conjures up a bit of silence between two long periods of beautiful noise.
These are miles that we need to get through to get to the joys of the Yorkshire Moors. Having feasted on the fine banquets of the Lakes and the Dales this is a time for digestion before the final delightful serving promised across the Moors and to Robin Hood's Bay. It is flat, featureless, crosses a stationary A1 reminding us of congestion down South and it is monotonous with many parts hard on the feet by road. We construct Bridge hands to test our understanding of our bidding and play systems and this makes most of the journey pass.
The only point of excitement along the way was a talking hedge. In the middle of analysing a hand a hedge in front of us says'we would know those voices anywhere'. We are taken aback as neither of us has come across a talking hedge before. We ask how the hedge knows us so well as we approach it and finally see HIlary (our lady of the bogs) and Steve sitting behind it and taking their lunch.Today there is not much more to say.
As the Emperor in Amadeus said to Mozart after hearing one of his piano pieces 'too many notes' and as our Diva Susan said to me after reading one of my blogs 'too many words' this is the one for you Susan and I hope I have not overstayed my welcome. We can see the Cleveland Hills ahead and look forward to more of interest tomorrow.
