    Sorry Compo’s … you’ve been usurped!!

    Oh, I’m not sure, it just took me back a few years. We had great weather plenty of gliders taking off nearby and at one point 17 paragliders floating above us. We survived under canvas and plumped for a basic one tap/ toilet farm site.

While we were there we visited Tideswell and after a few sherries we visited Elliot’s Chippy which during all of my other visits over the years has been closed. Wow, this place needs...

    Holmfirth today August ‘24

    It had been a while since we visited Holmfirth so off we went today. Managed to dodge any traffic en route so only took 50 minutes. We had a great wander around….and a brew at Sid’s.

    On two Wheels.

    I remember my little 3 wheeler with a tin box on the back that I used to ride down the footpaths to the bakers when I was about 4. I never had a new bike ever. I always got a refurbished one of my Grandad, usually a Raleigh with racing handles. Then I progressed to making my own Frankenstein...
