Early Doors was so underrated !!.....the castings were perfect...the dialogue was top notch...it gave the viewer a lovely warm feeling similar to The Royle Family....the policeman singing through the traffic cone "WER'E JAMMIN'" by Bob...

On Wednesday I arrived at Sid's Café around 11am, I was really pleased the weather had cooled, I estimate there was a total 60 to 70 people inside and outside the café, it was great to see so many fans, some from the forum others from...

Thirty years ago today since the untimely death of guitar legend Rory Gallagher

Have a great day all those going. I can’t make it today but would have gone if it had been at the weekend-but never mind. Ask the Winos when vol 2 of their book will be out… I can’t wait!

I have a new weather station at home, and by clicking on the link below you should be able to see our local weather https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ILINCO327

We stop off in Hawes occasionally on the way to Leyburn( lovely market town) Great chippy, some good little walks, interesting architecture and a decent couple of pubs.

Can recommend everything that the Cap listed. Been there, done that, would enjoy a revisit. Love Whitby, partly because I like the HF house just outside town. Could spend another several days poking around and photographing the Abbey...

I was in Staithes on Wednesday and walked through a Thunderstorm with a hail accompaniment back up the hill for the bus to Whitby by the time I got there Whitby was bathed in sunshine . Whilst in Staithes I met a group doing the...

Lovely day today here in Cheshire and I’ve got a 5 day weekend so off across the fields early this morning with the dogs.Off to Shropshire tomorrow.

When the kids were little I dragged them around many castles at the weekend Criccieth, Harlech, Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conway, Flint, Beeston, Penrith. As a child I got dragged around many stately homes which at that age I found a bit...
