The old Slaithwaite Road
All I have for you today is five more images from my visit to Slaithwaite and its environs. I toyed with the idea of sharing some thoughts about Taylor Swift's engagement to Travis Kelce. Then I considered reflecting on Fatty Trump's vindictive targeting of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook. Another idea was to have a closer look at Nigel Farage and the eerie rise of The Reform Party here in Great Britain. Perhaps I could write about the day I met Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd or sleeping in a tent on Lindisfarne when it rained heavily all the following day. Possibly another "Quiztime" or how it is when a lovely English summer starts to turn to autumn... But no - just five more pictures from yesterday's adventure - thirty miles north of here...

Good choice YP. I am not sure I could have coped with your alternative options.
ReplyDeleteI realise that you are very sensitive JayCee so I am pleased I did not unhinge you.
DeleteThe canal shot is particularly scenic.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like that one Debra.
DeleteYou can get the train to Marsden and walk back on the canal to Huddersfield.
ReplyDeleteDo you know Slawit Phil?
Was he the guy with the long grey beard - feeding the pigeons?
DeleteI wish I had that many ideas for posts.
ReplyDeleteYou never seem to dry up Red - there's always something you can write about.
DeleteWhat is Meltham Cop? Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's just that distinctive hill Pixie. "Cop" is another name for a hill.
DeleteBeautiful country!
ReplyDeleteOr even county Deb - Yorkshire!
DeleteGreat photos of England's very diverse countryside. I always fall for pictures of canals, but Melrham Cop is remarkable (natural or man made?)
ReplyDeleteIt is natural TM. I tried to find out if it had ancient significance but discovered nothing.
DeleteAnd here I was, waiting with baited breath for your thoughts on Taylor Swift's engagement... NOT!
ReplyDeleteThank you for these additional photos. Meltham Cop looks an unusual formation; I suppose it is not manmade?
No, Meltham Cop is not manmade and I hope that Taylor and Travis will be very happy together. Perhaps they will buy a little cottage in the countryside and raise goats.
DeleteI would love to read the Dave Gilmour anecdote YP. You met a guitar genius.
ReplyDeleteOh you know me Dave, I don't like to brag!
DeleteYou've pinched my ideas for a post. Love the canal shot. .
ReplyDeleteOh! Were you going to write about Taylor and Travis?
DeleteI'm glad you stuck to Slaithwaite photos, the world sits heavy on our shoulders at the moment.
ReplyDeleteMost people seem to feel that way Thelma.
DeleteI thought you would share your thoughts about Sheffield Wednesday's win over their rivals Leeds Utd. What a victory!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fantastic result Debbie but I support Hull City.
DeleteFive pictures worth looking at. Far better than anything Trump related, unless you are announcing his funeral.
ReplyDeleteThat will be a joyous day... but who will follow him?
DeleteYour photos embiggened show a lot more detail. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment Andrew. Are you after money?
DeleteI'm glad you showed us more of your photos of your last walk. Much more enjoyable than your alternatives, though I have to agree with River's last comment!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to turn away from the horrors.
DeleteI'd much rather see your beautiful photos than read anything else about Trump.
ReplyDeleteI fully understand that Jennifer.
DeleteI'd rather look at your photos than hear one word about Swift or The Felon. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteLife is all about choices, great choice today.You and Mrs. P, could take a holiday on a narrow boat. They do look relaxing.
ReplyDeletePerfect.
