We enjoyed a couple of days visiting local places with a friend and I was once more struck by the variety of God’s creation.

We live in an industrial area, famous once for coal mining, but Wentworth Castle Gardens are situated just a few minutes from Barnsley. You wouldn’t know this is the industrial north! Now the home of Northern College, the house was once the home of the Wentworth family, despite being situated in Stainborough rather than Wentworth…

We also visited Aysgarth Falls in the Yorkshire Dales, possibly one of my favourite places in the world (I just love waterfalls!) Here again, the beauty of God’s creation is stunning:

God is good!
