Mundane pictures of the North

Right you lazy Mancastrians! If you aren't going to do it, then I'll just have to do it myself :mad:

You just can't get the staff these days :rolleyes:

Sod off you bloody smoggie! :p :D

I've not got round to Lev yet - on me list though. Was in Brum today instead - that's my excuse! :D
 
Tufty, if it's not too late, I recommend the Hole in't Wall pub in Hebden and the charity shops :) I love going Hebden. As a vegetarian, I do get slightly freaked out though by suddenly having a large amount of meal options to choose from and prevaricate to the point of tears.
aaah! it was too late!
i got a little picnic for lunch at todmorden market - THE BEST COFFEE IN THE WORLD, EVER (thanks for the tip-off, Fez909!), a proper not-greggs cornish pasty, and a free chunk of wensleydale (when i asked how much it was, the lady behind the counter laughed at me and said it wouldn't even register on her scales :D)

charityshopped in dewsbury, and came away with a small inappropriate hoodie, some quality shorts, and (best) the lost boys, 28 days later and Heathcliff - the cliff richard wuthering heights musical on vhs :cool:

will post various weirdness up shortly.

machine cat - not sure whether my phone managed to catch the ducks or not - it died just as i tried to snap 'em :/
i did spend a lovely bit of hebden time with with a ginger random from the train, co-op lager, me feet in the canal, and watched sticklebacks swim past my toes :D
i've had a bit of a nice day :) and i've been out for twelve hours, and realising that i clearly don't get out enough :D

oh! and there was a bloke with a hamster in bradford interchange. it was well tame :cool:

Most unmundane post ever. Hebden and surrounding areas are great for having little adventures in as a weird and friendly part of the world- we were planning to move there at one point. Charity shopping always results in a hoodie I feel slightly too old to be wearing. Especially if neon colours are involved.

Don't worry about the ducks, this:

Has made the entire journey worthwhile :)
 
just as a teaser (and possibly the most mundane picture i managed to take), have some bradford mirror pool.

machine cat - sorry, the ducks didn't get saved on my phone :( trainrandom took some, but doesn't have the internets to email them to me :facepalm: :D

i *did* manage to spot what i think is a machine cat though, if that makes up for things?

It does :D Don't worry about the ducks :)


I feel like I've been a bit slack this week. Should make up for it these next few days though :)
 
isn't it just? :D
i almost got a train back via shipley, but thought my head would explode. so got a 72 bus, and realised i've not travelled that route properly since i left stanningley bottom. it was emotional :D

I've spent this evening reading about the Cottingley Fairies and now want to visit the place they took them, but it means going to Shipley again :facepalm:
 
ooooh. i keep thinking that the cottingley fairies girls came from somewhere near nab wood/cottingley, sort of between bingley and saltaire? am i right?
(and you can never have too much shipley!)

Yeah, you're right. Trying to find the exact location of the photos will pretty difficult though.
 
i'm a bit time rich at the minute, innit? could do with reclaiming a bit of bingleyish anyway :)

You lived in Stanningley (where's the bottom??)
We are at that end of Bramley and 72 is our bus. Woohoo!
*belated wave*

i used to live on bradford road, just near the sun inn (bottom of richardshaw lane). i did a mental wave in mah head to you as i went through bramley :) my address was excellent sidjamesery - not only did i have the word 'bottom' in it, but i had DD in my postcode as well :D
think i'll be going that way again when i'm less emotional, and armed with a camera. couldn've taken thousands of pics just from bradford centre up to thornbury roundabout :oops:

right. the time has come for me to re-size things and drink my house dry of tea, instead of going gardening volunteering :hmm:
brace yourself, thread.
