It goes without saying we have been truly spoilt by endless hot days throughout summer 2018. Of course, in true British style, I have heard more than a couple grumbling complaints of hot tubes, stuffy offices and overflowing public parks – but I think I have cracked this British summer malarkey by approaching my spare time in the heat as I would my holiday hours. Outdoor pool? Check. Shady alfresco dining on fresh local produce? Check. Beautiful countryside? Check. So far so Mediterranean – but what if I told you my destination of choice was not the Algarve or Almalfi coast but dear old Yorkshire? Helmsley in North Yorkshire to be exact – the most quintessentially English village that boarders on to the unabashed wilds of the Yorkshire moors.
