I follow Holmepride's work on Facebook. They work wonders, keeping the town clean and attractive. Next time you visit, take a look at the planting they've done in Memorial Garden (behind the Post Office) and the clean-up in the garden where the Kings Head, a.k.a. White Door pub, used to be...

Having shown yourself to be talented and innovative, you've made yourself indispensable. Now there'll be no rest, however well deserved. Thank you and for goodness sake, take care of yourself!

I had nearly forgotten Jaffa Cakes. They're not available in this region, so my introduction to them happened in Canterbury, the first summer I was there to sing with the Berkshire Choral Festival at the cathedral. They immediately triggered an addiction!

Thank you Tony, for all your hard work!

Thank you Tony. I've added your help email to my Outlook contacts, as well as Terry's, just to ensure that I can find them if needed.

That would be to give the American patient's health insurance company a bigger bill! Implantable lenses that adjust for various distances, supposedly like natural ones do, are listed on my local practice's web site, but when I asked my surgeon about them she said that they're disappointing. I...

Bummer! We get something administered via IV, too.

Best wishes, Terry, and quick recovery. You'll be able to make photos with that eye to the view finder with no chance of accidently overexposing them. When I had my first cataract removed, as the surgeon pulled out the clouded lens and the light came through, that was the first thing I thought...

I'm still on the fence. I like the idea, mostly to get away from a company that's all but a monopoly, but all of my peripheral devices work by default with Microsoft. So does nearly all of my software.

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.

Daisy Lane Books is one of the few shops in Holmfirth that I've never visited. I try to avoid loading up my luggage with books, and for the last several years I've mostly limited purchases to ebooks.

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!
