Hoping for the best possible outcome from your surgery, and for a speedy recovery. Will be looking for a full report from you whenever you're able. In this weather, chocolate would arrive melted and US$s would be useless to you, so sending only good wishes.

I don't; never did, although one of my extremely traditional friends does. And I don't post Facebook updates, either. That just advertises that my house is unoccupied. Most of my relatives do that, and although I enjoy keeping up with their travels, I hope that someone is keeping an eagle-eye on...

Could do, of course, but had hoped that someone had a more up-to-date method of communication. It's been so many decades since I wrote a proper business letter that I'd have to look up the format!

Neither Virtual Huddersfield nor Beattie's Deli publishes an email, so there is no way to register a suggestion that the huge, white URLs at the bottom of the display might be reduced in size and relocated either to the top of the image, or in the top or bottom margin in order to avoid blocking...

So frequently that they might have started labeling them as false alarms!

I have several similar to that one stored in the cellar. Now I don't even have a landline.

Or is it the railway tunnels at Dunford Bridge? The building looks similar to the Stanhope, and the the two small tunnels with one large one next to them look right for there. Eagerly awaiting the correct answer.

I recall a bit of the dialogue, and of course the background is outside Marsden, very near the Standedge Tunnel. Can't recall who the third man was, except that it wasn't Blamire or Truly, or anything about the plot.

Just at the moment, don't breathe deeply in the vicinity of Gayle Beck. Today's BBC news report is not good...

It's similar, but not quite good enough.

That doesn't look like a rural area to me!

I'm not particularly fond of pigs, having grown up on a farm where we kept a few of the escape artists, but I do like bacon. Strongly prefer back bacon, as served in the UK, but nearly all we can get here in the States is cut from the pork belly, so it's mostly fat. What you refer to as streaky...

Been there for part of a day's photography. An easy stroll over the hill via the footpath next to the parish church takes you to Gayle, where you can visit the Yorkshire Wensleydale creamery and sample some of their wonderful cheeses. Gayle Mill is just a little way along the road, so you can...

For my money, Whitby beats Scarborough. I'll take climbing the 199 steps over riding the funicular. And there are some work-arounds for those who are less mobile. The tour bus starts from down in the town and drives up to the Abbey entrance.

Thanks for posting here. In any situation the genuine "How are you doing?" can be necessary. It's far too rare, though. This is a good reminder that empathy is always needed.

And I had the words stored away in my memory without knowing that I had ever before heard either tune or words. I saw that episode way back when I could still hear. I'd never have picked up on it now - even with top-of-the-line hearing aids, my brain doesn't make sense of music. Thanks to...

We need an emoticon to express "moan, groan!"

I'm simply struggling to reconcile a middle-aged mind trapped in an elderly body. And architecturally, I'm still stuck on perpendicular (late) gothic, although I also find the solidity of the Norman style comforting.

For my eyes, it's in Fahrenheit. Saves me the chore of calculating the conversion.

I've been there only in summer. Wouldn't attempt a winter visit. My maternal grandfather grew up in the southern foothills of that mountain range. We visited "up home" the second Sunday in August each year for the family reunion, but never at any other time.
