They must have pronounced it harf, and larf to get the rhyme. That would count as a comedy accent today.

Ireland Wood, Leeds.

The area was named in the nineteenth century for the Irish who came to England to build canals. Today it is a tiny wild forest.

It probably is older but I never knew of it nor used it back then for sure.

The chart in question was 1970, which any mathematician will tell you is the last year of the sixties.

Seventeen year old me would be just as gobsmacked (a word that had not yet been invented) as the today me at the number of those acts still performing.

I saw a live performance (the only live performance?) at Sheffield City Hall, including Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast, with sausages fried on stage.

Commonwealth war graves in Lawnswood Cemetery, Leeds just after dawn this chilly September morning.
An autumnal picture of a monument to the dead. Warm hues in the early morning sunshine.

Manchego is one of the great cheeses of the world. Eggs in a multitude of forms, tortilla of course, also revueltos a sort of lumpy scramble. The heavy bean and pork stew, Fabada Asturiana, best eaten after hiking on a cold day in the Picos mountain range. Fresh seafood washed down with fino sherry.

Spain has some of the best food. San Sebastian, Gijon & Sanlucar my favourites.

The August Bank Holiday is approaching fast (the last one for a bit, so better make it count!) 🥲

From the dramatic rock formations of Brimham to the peaceful rolling hills of #Wharfedale, Yorkshire has no shortage of places to stretch your legs. Here are four walks worth exploring this weekend:

Helpful thread. I'm thinking of going electric and this is the sort of journey I hope to be making.

Likewise, but the greatest invention after central heating is the string that holds your specs around your neck when you take them off.

Third greatest invention is half-moon specs obviously.
