Details
Bask in the visual beauty of Claire Evan's recent visit to the Yorkshire Dales and learn the surprising story of Alf Wight, an unassuming country veterinarian who practiced there for 50 years. He rose to international fame later in life under the pen name James Herriot for his heartwarming stories of animals and colorful characters of a bygone era, inspiring a film and multiple television series.
Claire Evans is a former journalist, attorney, and college lecturer who started her love of most things British as she and her mother watched countless Britcoms on PBS. She went on to study abroad in London and, against the odds, she married a Brit she met in Peoria, Illinois. They moved to England, where they lived for a number of years. Outside of her work for a legal advice charity, Claire became a student of historical sights, pub dining, and tea shops. Her business, Tea with Claire, grew from friends asking for travel and relocation advice.
