| After our full English Breakfast in York, it was "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" to Thirsk. Earl drove well in spite of his wide-eyed passengers gasping at the narrow roads, with "soft verges" (shoulders). Soon we arrived in Thirsk where the real James Herriot (Alf Wight) practiced as a vet and finally wrote "All Creatures Great and Small". We watched this every Saturday night for years. His house and clinic is now wonderful museum of his life. |  | |
