| Billy Blake's "Jerusalem " where he spoke of being 'among these dark satanic mills...', was written while he sat above Beacon Hill in Halifax ..(said Ken Kersey over a pint of locally brewed lager ,looking at this view).... |
Only an accountant will tell you if the £19 million spent on
the Halifax Piece Hall
was worth the money?
All I can say is, I was surprised today how good it looks.
Me & Cath go next week to the opening of the new Halifax Library which is just next door to The Piece Hall.

A bit of a dilemma for me this weekend .
I keep getting pestered by google to allow this blog to be included on their AdSense programme.Because of my large(ish) number of visitors they have given me some quite generous estimates of how much i might "earn" each month. Essentially, each time you visit here,the more money Google gives me .The joy of capitalism.
So what to do? Should I take the capitalist shilling which goes against the spirit of what i do here?
On the other hand , what google would give me would more than pay for my smugmug photo album subscription each month. {n.b. never did it}
At the end of the day
I doubt I will take up this offer. But ,whatever , thank you kindly for each visit you make.Long may it continue.............
