Excellent stuff - I was going to say that surely Sedbergh is actually in the Yorkshire Dales (which it technically is) but, when I also Googled 'Cumbria', Sedbergh is clearly also a Cumbrian town, which I find confusing that somewhere can be both in Yorkshire & Cumbria 😅

I also love Petrichor, I was reading about it recently actually. I've always, from a young age, been able to smell when slugs are invading a garden (but I think what I was actually smelling was either geosmin or petrichor): https://sciencenotes.org/petrichor-and-geosmin-the-smell-of-rain/

I also like Yorkshire too - for a start they make a great cuppa, but yes I also love the outdoors it provides and the friendly northern charm. I really liked the time I spent living in Roundhay (which whilst still essentially a suburb in the surrounding area of Leeds), I felt closer to nature around there (although we do have some parks in Manchester)
