A Yankee Notebook: Exploring and contemplating the Yorkshire Dales - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I sat at the back of the ruined nave of Fountains Abbey and tried to imagine the place as it must have been 800 years ago, before Henry VIII, in a monarchical fit of religiosity, destroyed it and scattered its monks, as he did over most of England. The massive arches at the side stretched (I’m guessing) about 100 yards toward the chancel gable wall, now a spindly arch of stone against the sky above an empty opening that must have held a huge stained-glass window.

Fourth of July in Boston: A patriotic celebration - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve had the dubious good fortune during the past five years to drive every couple of weeks or so to the neighborhood of Boston. It’s becoming a habit, casually alternating visits to Nahant with my friend Bea’s visits here in Vermont. But where else would we be but Boston on the weekend of the Fourth of July — especially on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence? “Cradle of Liberty,” it’s been called, or “Birthplace of Freedom,” names I heartily endorse in spite
