One man and his dog!

... moving the flock of sheep from their field to the farm. At least they provided us with some entertainment as we waited for them to be moved along the road.

It's been a day of entertainment's on my mum's birthday. We have been staying near Danby on the North York Moors for a few days while my brother is over from the States. Today has been my mum's 83rd birthday (see Sunday for pic).

It began for my brother and I with a walk on Danby Rigg to watch the sunrise, followed by breakfast and card/ present giving.

We then drove over to the picturesque village of Staithes (at least it's picturesque around the harbour but not in the upper part of the village), followed by a lunchtime visit to Runswick Bay and an afternoon visit to the Moors Centre in Danby (National Park Centre). In was on our drive there that we encountered the sheep being driven along the road.

An early evening meal with everyone retiring to their various rooms exhausted by about 9pm. All in all a very good, if somewhat tiring day! I think she enjoyed it.
