You are going to have your hands full Pete, and your Lambsfoot is going to have plenty of work. I hope it all goes well buddy, and that we'll see you back here soon
Thanks Pete, I think crumble is my favourite way to eat blackberries, and a lot easier to make than pieLooks magnificent, Jack
What a wonderful collection of photos Greg
It looks like you had a fantastic time my friend Thanks for sharing those stunning views Absolutely gorgeous Dwight
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a good week. My pal, Tool Man, is off doing a steam rally at Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast this week - lucky dog! However, I wouldn't have been going down to the market today anyway, because of my back. I had been planning to go to the neighbouring town of Morley, to see a friend there, but don't want to start my sciatica off again. My back is on the mend, but I'm being a bit careful in terms of avoiding things I know might set it back again, roso I'm still avoiding sitting at my desk, and currently posting from my phone still. Apologies for another recycled pic. Have a good day Guardians

Great to see you here Leon, but sorry for your computer woes, it's the same with my laptop, some darn Windows 10 issueJust popping in to say G'Day. Got stuff every where, can't find my cord to post photo's and my computer keeps locking me out, otherwise every things dandy.
I hope you can get it sorted out mate, and that you settle into your new place OK

I also hope i can get it sorted, i fear it may have something to do with the embedded internet connection in the building. The new place is fantastic itself, a lot bigger than where i was and brand new, used to be a great location, but like many places in your part of the world has changed a lot. I am the wrong age group, it is now for the young, but as my mum would have said, " Stop Your Complaining And Be Grateful For What You've Got ".Great to see you here Leon, but sorry for your computer woes, it's the same with my laptop, some darn Windows 10 issue

I'm glad to hear that there have been some positive aspects to your move mate. One of the things that dissuaded me from moving a decade back was that everywhere I saw was much smaller than my current place.

Thanks Jack, I'm making progress. Going out for my morning stroll and hopefully loosen up my cranky back.Hope you're doing ok Bill, you take it easy buddy
Jack, your post really struck a chord with me. The truth be told; new isn't always better. Your story makes me think about the way things used to be. The term "old school" that seems to be , at times. to be derogatory is more often than not used by those who can't muster up what it takes to "get it right". I will admit that new ways and things have led to higher quality of life (and I'm grateful for it) in many respects but not in everything. With all that being said call me "old school".Hope everyone is having a good day. It's about 80 here, and a pretty nice day. I wasn't expecting to go anywhere, but my friend Matt, who I was with on Yorkshire Day, offered to take me to the supermarket, and even carried my shopping in for me. My fridge was looking a bit bare, so I was glad to stock it up again
When I was a boy, before the supermarkets came along, every other street had a row of small shops - a grocers, butchers, green grocers, hardware store, and a bakery. In the bakery, the missus would be up front serving customers, while the baker baked bread, and all sorts of delicious treats, in the back. There aren't many left like that unfortunately.
One of the things they baked were pikelets, either square, or more usually round. About half the country called them 'crumpets', and when the supermarkets and big bakeries came along, they said 'pikelets' on one side of the packet, and 'crumpets' on the other, but because they were called crumpets in London and south east England, it wasn't long before they were just sold as 'crumpets'.
It's a shame that we've lost the old word, not least since, in Sheffield, 'pikelet' is an affectionate, but mildly derogatory term for someone who is being a bit daft.
Not only did the name change, but the quality began to go downhill, and eventually they were transformed from a delicious snack into something which tasted like cardboard. As a result, I have largely stopped buying 'crumpets', but I saw these square ones in the supermarket, and thought they might taste better. They didn't unfortunately
One day, when Yorkshire is an independent nation, we will dine on tasty pikelets once again!

It's a glorious day here in Yorkshire, and like Bill, I wanted to stretch my back out a bit, without irritating my sciatic nerve again. So I walked the few yards to the bottom of my street, got on a bus, and alighted outside the post office, as I had three large packages to send to some of our friends here. I had also remembered a small shop inside the beautiful Leeds Corn Exchange, which sold Yorkshire stuff. So I walked a few more yards there to get a few things for

. I had a coffee, picked up a loaf of bread, and headed back home, without upsetting my back again
