in Hebden Bridge today

 

No boat's gonna row

 

Just checked my feet and the Levee did not break today!

Below, a tv reporter & cameraman today in Mytholmroyd.............

 

The last few days have been daft down the Valley 

Because of Covid restrictions , the only people on the streets are TV Reporters.

 I have seen at least 3 different channels reporting here . Not here to help, only to "feel our pain" and photograph it !

trying to remember Amherst....

liberal smiles.....

Mr Corbyn refused to have dinner with Trump. but Johnson backed him for the Nobel Peace Prize. 

 This is all you need to know about the UK establishment and liberal politics in general. 

Saying that , today I bought a great big greasy tub of Brylcreem . The first time in 20 years.

 "The Starmer Effect"?

 

Happy New Year

About 13 months ago I was canvassing for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party.

Veronica Fernandez Zimnoch lives in Argentina.She's a Lawyer in Buenos Aires  She's my Great Grand Niece.

Her Grandad, & my Uncle, was  Antonio Zimnoch (my namesake) . He was ten years younger than my Dad. They last saw each other in 1939 when my dad was conscripted into The Soviet Army ( later to desert and join the Free Polish Airforce  in UK.)

After the war, my uncle married an Italian lass and moved to Argentina.

Apart from the occasional letter , they never contacted each other.Although ,oddly , they died within weeks of each other in 1984.

I still keep in touch with Veronica via facebook.

Antonio Zimnoch : my namesake.

So the swimming pool, Gym and Libraries are back open. That leaves only Gigs:Theaters: Saunas and Movies to tick off my dance card.....(probably other things also, that i have simply forgotten!)

Rave On : John Steinbeck and Miles Davis

 

So i took this photo at a Christmas Bash at The Hebden Bridge Trades Club 5 years ago.

 At the time it looked so "old and Great Depression Era" Looks fairly contemporary  now....... 

I guess we dress up in the clothes we really want to wear?
