I was in Swaledale at the weekend, so I had to sing Jake Thackray’s haunting ‘Old Molly Metcalfe’ in the landscape that inspired it. The weather was less bleak than it is in the song…#JakeThackray youtu.be/ReeX9UnTU3o

My first exposure to the genius of #JakeThackray were his frequent appearances on 'That's Life', a Sunday evening, post bath, UK TV show that was generally the signifier for kids to go to bed. As It's Sunday night, here's Jake. Now go to bed. Have a great week.x

Brings to mind riding through Swaledale and all the mentioned places. I picture it in kind weather, although I've seen it in all it's moods.
