1 - The Prologue
“Gi’e me a bi’ o’ Yorksher fayre,
A Yorksher scene an’ Yorkshire air,
Whear t’ lads a’ bold an’ t’ lasses fair,
An’ Ah’m contented.
The’s no’ another place in t’ land
A fair comparison c’n stand.
T’ spend t’ rest o’ mi life Ah’ve planned
‘Mid t’ Yorksher Dales an’ t’ mount’ns grand –
Unless prevented.”
Yorkshireman Paul Serotsky first heard these words 40 years ago when he was a university student.
Paul thought he would spend the rest of his life in his beloved native county, put the Fickle Finger of Fate prodded him into an unexpected decision.
Over the next five months, in weekly episodes, he will be entertaining us with an account of the results of that decision.
