And here
it's over the period of my 70 th Birthday
And, no doubt , it might be mentioned here soon !
In the meantime, I went drinking with Phil & Ken in Halifax today .
Me and Cath went to this event at Hebden Bridge Library tonight.
It's purpose was to give information about October's Sylvia Plath's 90th Birthday Festival .
. One of the poets was from Halifax, Gaia Holmes ( very good) https://gaiaholmes.wordpress.com/about-me/
I really liked her .Sorta Punk Poetry from The Moor in Halifax. Splendid
Plus another poet from Philadelphia called Katie Ailes.
British Gas have missed a trick ! They really should be sponsoring this Festival .......

It refers to the current problems of Boris Johnson here in UK
Bit of a shame as this month I celebrate my 70 th birthday & we go away on holiday.
I have appealed the ban , but it's unlikely to be overturned ( it seems , i discover too late, they always ban this particular parody video,no matter the topic )
The upshot is that I will be posting more here during my 29 exile..
Facebook's gain is your loss.......
I went for a few drinks at The Upper George in Halifax on Friday . We bumped into a facebook Friend who had a spare ticket for Primal Scream who were playing The Peice Hall that evening . It would have been rude not to go...... Image Gallery

'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
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....?
Audio is Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Louisville, KY April 18, 2008
Some photos I took at this week at Valley Antiques in Hebden Bridge. Our first Post-Covid visit there.... [link]
The audio is Bruce Coburn in 1997.
the photo doesn't do that stuffed parrot justice! so manky, falling to bits..... ! Poor Soul :(We see The Devils Parade ( 'Hungarian Doom Folk') Forndom ( 'Swedish Atmospheric Nordic Folk') and Darkher ( 'Haunting Etheral Doom' )
Frankly I havn't a clue! blushes..........
But , pop -pickers,it's sure to be a memorable evening whatever!

My skin is getting older .
Loads of bruises this week on both my arms.
It seems this happens as your skin gets old . Ironically , most of my 'wounds' I can place from swimming ( brushing my arms on the swimming pool' lockers: brushing my arms against the lane ropes ;etc etc)
Hey -hoy! :)
