The Huddersfield bus station isn't far from the rail station, but it's up a hill. That has always put me off when I've arrived with luggage. There's a taxi rank outside the rail station, but always inquire of the driver whether or not they know the way to Holmfirth. I've encountered a few who...

A few years ago I broke a tooth on a toffee bar. It required a couple of expensive dentist visits, first to prepare the site for a crown, then to fit the crown. It hasn't put me off toffee, though, but now I break it up with a hammer instead of biting it.

A bicycle would limit your exploration to Huddersfield/Woodhead Road and Hollowgate unless you're up for riding on hills. Was https://www.traveline.info/ available the last time you looked at bus transport? It's accurate and quite thorough. How closely the actual busses adhere to the times...

Barm is what's contained in a barmpot!

The layout and the lighting make it nearly unlivable, but depending on the condition of the property and F&F, the asking price isn't at all bad. Are property prices in the north of England coming down from their recent astronomical level?

They Call the Wind Mariah, from the Lerner & Lowe musical Paint Your Wagon. Back in the day when I collected LPs from stage shows that I had never seen, just because I enjoyed the music.

The price of delayed maintenance? And it's too narrow to be safe for today's vehicles.

Last time I was in Holmfirth, about six years ago, during one of my many meals at the Wrinkled Stocking, Dennis and I were chatting, and he said that he'd really rather be working as a tattoo artist. He must have come around to Jackie's point of view for them to be expanding the cafe. Is...

One of my favorite episodes!

Graham - you beat me to it. I need to get to Facebook earlier!

Same sense of entitlement here in my region of the US. When shown photos of his dog fowling the neighbor's lawn, an owner shrugged and said "Not my problem."

Before Summer Wine, there was Bamforth's, but the collection of postcards that they printed was housed at the Tolson Museum in Huddersfield the last time I heard anything about it! To me, Holmfirth is wool weaving, because my primary interest is in the history of any locality where I happen to...

Even when he was so ill that most other people would have been in hospice care, he was in there determined that the millenium special would be completed!

Leaves on the track seems to be an autumn epidemic!

This turned up on my Facebook page about an hour ago. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CyrDGLxjF/

Huh?

Today's temp is even worse than last week's. -2F at ~8 AM. I'm working in the sunniest room in the house, wearing the heated gilet, and slipping my hands into a heated hand warmer whenever possible. This too shall pass!

Mine, to, even in the brutally cold temps we've had lately. That man has a built-in furnace.

At 15C/59F I'm bundled up in several layers of wool, a heated gilet, and a fleece jacket, and I'm still shivering!
