I have a new favourite chippy. We have just got back from a camping trip in Little Hucklow in the Peak District. 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...

I have just watched Hammer’s Greatest Horror.. Nearest and Dearest 1973. Some funny scenes in the film.

Some of the Choppers relatives at our local Steam Fair last weekend.

…. Don’t forget pegging a bit of card or a lolly stick so it struck the spokes when the wheel went round to make the noise of a motorbike :)

No we were just visiting. I’ve got a few days off and we’re off into Derbyshire ( Lathkill Dale or Beresford Dale maybe) tomorrow for a couple of nights. We’ve just bought a new bigger teepee so thought we might try that instead of the camper as we’ve got a local VW gathering next weekend so...

While we sat on the bench with our brew and a sticky bun Gill reminded me about the live camera on Beatties so I had quick look and ….EH Up…there we were. Not very clear but that’s probably a good thing :)

£15 and I think two for £25.

No, it’s reopened. I bought two bottles!

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.

I usually like a nice cheese and onion or spicey tomato or Kettle ready salted.Last week a workmate gave me a bag of these… wow - what a flavour. Definitely worth finding if you like it hot.

I have just come across another I didn’t know about with Reg Varney, Down The ‘Gate.

One of them is opening as a campsite!! Stand by your beds!!

I like it with a strong coffee!! I haven’t had one for months… I’ve got a right craving now. Visiting Leek this weekend…. Mmmm Oatcakes :)

I’ll have to add another into the mix. Large meringue, crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle..probably the equivalent of eating a 2lb bag of sugar but it’s not every day! From Pronto Deli in Leek Staffs.

BBC2 are having a sitcom season with a show on every night at 10 pm. I doubt there’ll be any forgotten classics though. Talking Pictures have just shown the two series of Together that were made in the ‘80’s. The second ( last ) series was broadcast live and although it wasn’t a sit com it...
