I WAS pleased to see the Yorkshire Dales portrayed in its untwee beauty, by a BBC2 TV programme about the department store, Milners of Leyburn, on April 7.

I hope lots of people will enjoy the simple pleasures of these unspoiled Yorkshire towns and villages in the future. There are few better places to visit – if the sun keeps shining.
