Me and Chris went up to Gaddings Dam this morning. It is 80 feet above sea level and 60 miles inland ,at Lumbutts village near Todmorden .The highest Beach in the UK. Bloody Cold! I started off more "Power Paddling" than "Power Swimming" but I eventually got my modesty wet.. Some detail about Gaddings here all audio is , of course, Neil Young! 

 Didn't I Tell You The Sky Was About To Rain ?

Looking For Alice

https://penninehorizons.org/collections/show/3

  '𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞'𝐬 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬 ' Me & Cath went up to The Birchcliffe Centre in Hebden Bridge today. Looking at an exhibition of the local photographer Alice Longstaff. ( 1907 - 1992) Loads of recent previously unseen photos

Filming 'Happy Valley' in Hebden Bridge

Nearly 2 hours of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss live! The quality is more than ok, i think.......

I went into Hebden Bridge today for a haircut. 

While there, I took these photos of them filming the new series of " Happy Valley". I'm a bit snooty about the show tbh. But it was interesting to look at how they go about it.

 I was more excited by the fact that half an hour before I took this photo , I had been in the 'Country Stores' and the lass behind the counter was all in a tiz because Robert Plant ( Led Zeppelin ) had just been in to buy a Steak & Ale Pie 

. He had played in Halifax last night , and was driving back over the tops , taking 'the scenic route' 

I always imagine him a veggie. Shows how much I know........ I mean , in retrospect, I might have seen a Plantish figure stood alone eating, near some busker. But everybody in Heden Bridge looks like that! How was I supposed to know....?

"some travel restrictions"

Tis a shame,this just arrived this morning. We were quite looking forward to it. Oddly, Sea Powers big tour ( due in Manchester this week ) has cancelled some dates due to Covid. It seems the Gods are restless.....
