I've previously heard rumours of horror films being shot in/around Stanedge Lodge, perhaps back in the 60s/70s.

There are four blogposts entitled "Story" if you would like to read them. I always think of Stanedge Lodge as a rather mysterious and inaccessible property.<br />Kind Regards,<br />Neil<br />(Yorkshire Pudding)Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-1374339273425059202019-07-22T19:56:40.719+01:002019-07-22T19:56:40.719+01:00Librarian, thank you for those kind words.

It can be hard to find good taste, convenience, and environmental acceptability all in one product. Some folks just don't like the taste of water, but I drink it most of the time now and feel better for it. I think I was dehydrated for years!<br /><br />One approach which I feel has merit is to do the best we can with most of our choices, but allow ourselves some leeway to enjoy a few choice things without undue worry about the costs. It's the same approach I use for frugality, too - be frugal in most things so I can enjoy a few splurges. It's also surprising how much more I appreciate occasional treats or splurges when they truly are "occasional".jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-26304057993072405262019-07-21T01:08:35.775+01:002019-07-21T01:08:35.775+01:00"Come on you two girls!
