SELINA SCOTT
As lockdown eases, I’m looking forward to:
Visiting: My sister, Vanessa, who has been locked down in Scotland. I am looking forward to getting my Naturally Selina website fixed. It went into lockdown and is only now emerging.
Shopping: Looking forward to Tennants of Leyburn opening. Their viewing auctions always mean a joyful journey through the Dales.
Planning for: At the end of the year, I will be walking through Wharfedale with just a drone. One of those walks the BBC commissioned from Leeds, with natural sound only. It was a lovely day. What I’ve learned in lockdown I have really enjoyed lockdown. No hassle from anyone. No microlights buzzing overhead. No cars. The sky as blue as blue can be with no planes and being able to bicycle without fear. Beadlam Grange farm shop delivered, so there was nothing I wanted I couldn’t get. And, of course, I was so lucky to be on my farm in North Yorkshire, living minute by minute with wildlife, nesting birds, otters and hedgehogs in spring and early summer. I have never been able to do that before, there have always been deadlines or meetings to attend. naturallyselinascott.com

Boxing clever
The Hare at Scawton was named Yorkshire Life Restaurant of the Year in 2019 and owners Paul and Liz Jackson had big plans for their gourmet hotspot. When lockdown happened, they put down the kitchen knives and opened the tool box. The results are spectacular
All the dales
This route from Thixendale to Hanging Grimston is often missed by local hikers, but it covers a number of glorious dales. Warning: there’s a one in six climb, but the views make it all worthwhile
