Ah...the English country side for waterfalls in the United Kingdom🇬🇧.

💦Falling Foss is a waterfall that lies in the north-east section of The North York Moors National Park and is a popular spot for walking. It is 5 miles (8.0 km) from Whitby, and is situated on the Little Beck. It is 67 feet (20 m) high.

💦Hardraw Force waterfall is on the Hardraw Beck in Hardraw Scar, a wooded ravine just outside the hamlet of Hardraw, 0.93 miles (1.5 km) north of the town of Hawes, Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. Hardraw has a single drop of 100 feet (30 m) from a rocky overhang. Hardraw Force is claimed to be England's highest unbroken waterfall at least discounting underground falls. (The underground waterfall inside nearby Gaping Gill on the western flank of Ingleborough has an unbroken fall of over 300 feet (91 m).) For public viewing of Hardraw Force visitors have to go through the bar of the Green Dragon Inn public house in Hardraw to reach the falls; an entrance fee is payable on the way through the pub. Access behind the falls is now prohibited.

💦High Force is a waterfall on the River Tees, near Middleton-in-Teesdale, Teesdale, County Durham, England. The waterfall is within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and European Geopark. The whole of the River Tees plunges 70 feet (21 m) over a cliffs edge which is almost vertical in two stages. After heavy rainfall the River Tees will also flow over the dry right hand side channel, creating two falls. Very occasionally the river level will be high enough to flow over the central section of rock, the last recorded time this happened was in December 2015. In harsh winters the falls have been known to freeze, creating cathedral-like ice formations. Access to the northern bank is via a private footpath on the Raby estate for which a fee is charged. The southern bank can be reached free-of-charge via the Pennine Way public footpath which crosses the Moor House-Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve.

💦Scale Force is considered the highest waterfall in the English Lake District. Opinions vary about how its precise height is calculated, but the total height is normally stated as 170 feet (51.8m). It lies on the stream Scale Beck. The waterfall, or force (a Norse term for waterfall) is hidden in a deep gorge on the northern flank of Red Pike. It lies south of Crummock Water and is near the village of Buttermere.

National Themes For September 19: National Pawpaw Day, National Butterscotch Pudding Day, and Talk Like A Pirate Day.

🍌National Pawpaw Day provides a taste of the great (forgotten) American fruit. Take a bite out of a creamy mango-banana flavored pawpaw to celebrate! Despite their tropical taste and appearance, many pawpaws grow natively in the United States. With over 60 varieties of pawpaw to choose from, the fruit’s character changes slightly in each one. With a blend of banana and mango and sometimes pineapple, we shouldn’t be surprised by the names given to the pawpaw. Interestingly, the pawpaw is the largest edible fruit native to the United States. The pawpaw was an integral part of Native American diets. Early Europeans confused the pawpaw with the papaya. While many people have never tasted the sweet, custard-like fruit, the day sets out to change that. This seasonal fruit enjoys a peak harvest time from late August through the first frost. Given that markets and festivals across the country offer samples, there’s ample opportunity to taste your first pawpaw.

🍁National Butterscotch Pudding Day! The primary ingredients in the making of butterscotch are brown sugar and butter. However, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt are also sometimes used. In a 1848 newspaper, according to “Housewife’s Corner” and Masluk Cream Co., the real recipe for “making Doncaster butterscotch is one pound of butter, one pound of sugar and a quarter of a pound of treacle, boiled together.” Butterscotch is often used as a flavor for items such as sauces, candies, and frostings.

⚔️Talk Like a Pirate Day! All you bilge rats, Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgh! As you are out and about on this day, don’t be surprised if people are saying, “Ahoy Matie,” “Avast,” “Aye, Aye Capt’n,” “Land ho!” “Hornpipe,” and many other pirate-like phrases, because it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day. International Talk Like a Pirate Day was founded by John Baur and Mark Summers (aka Ol’ Chumbucket and Cap’n Slappy) in 1995.

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgh! Send some rain, please.

Warm 88° hugs!🐶🐶💕🌤
