ABC Wednesday - Yellow

Yikes I was so busy relaxing over an extended Yule time that not a thought was given to this week's letter.  The only thing I can come up with is the colour yellow. What a good excuse to show a stripy yellow bee really getting down to nectar collecting in a dandelion.  It is said that aerodynamically a bee should not be able to fly, but nature knows more than aeronautical engineers

although this small plane used for skydiving also sports a certain stripy élan. What a shame nobody was floating down on a yellow parachute, although it is a popular colour for  working modes of transport such as rescue helicopters, breakdown vans, diggers and the occasional

fishing boat. The building being constructed in the background will soon be filled with the youth of the University of Cumbria when it is finished, opening a new door on life. Let me take you through ye old cottage gate still hanging on

in the Howgills, which lies on the border of Cumbria and Yorkshire. Journey south and over the English channel to the town of

Josselin in France. A popular tourist destination because of its medieval castle and 16th Century half timbered houses from days of yore.  There are lots of opportunities here for tourists to spend their money in gift shops and also buy postcards to keep or send home

and pop them in a yellow 'La Post' box which vary in their essential yellowness depending on how sun bleached they are.

Yomp over to ABC Wednesday where there are lots more words starting with Y
