Just outside the main door of the Nags Head hung this great stone on an iron chain. Nearby was posted the rubric for its interpretation, which went as follows:
Boynton's Infallible Weather Stone
If rock is wet
it's raining
If rock is white
it's snowing
If rock is moving back and forth
it's windy
If rock is casting a shadow
it's sunny
If rock is hard to see
it's foggy
If rock is warm
it's warm out
If rock is cold
it's cold out
Yorkshiremen are never wrong
Looking at the picture you might have thought that it was brilliant sunshine all weekend. But it was a lucky shot during a break in the rain clouds. Yorkshiremen are never wrong, but they are frequently damp.
