Happy Birthday .....
I'd never heard of the Yorkshire Wolds, so I looked it up:

Yorkshire. If the stereotypes are to be believed, it’s a land of proud, tough landscapes that have imbued their folk with the same bold, stubborn, no-nonsense approach to life embodied by characters such as cricketer Geoffrey Boycott. And for the visitor planning a trip to Yorkshire, it’s a simple choice between the wild, rugged hills and valleys of the Dales or the wild rugged hills and valleys of the Moors isn’t it? But there’s nothing like a visit to this enormous county to dispel a few stereotypes.
Yorkshire has a third hilly landscape that isn’t well known. After the drama of the two national parks in the west and north of the county, the landscape gives a final shrug just before it dives into the North Sea in the East Riding. This shrug is the Yorkshire Wolds, a softer crescent of hills, secret deep valleys and astonishingly pretty villages – each with a gem of a church, an inviting pub and a duck pond mantled by willow trees.
Nice .....
Let me know which "big old house" you visit - I'd like to look that up, too .....
