A dayout in West Yorkshire.

Wednesday 14th May.
The weather forecast was good so we went off to Dewsbury market, parked the car spent a couple of hours looking round the shops and stalls, had our dinner (lunch) then took a bus ride to Bradford.

On the journey back to Dewsbury we got stuck in a traffic jam for half an hour there had been an accident on the motorway and all the traffic was detouring onto the A roads, the sheer volume caused tail backs for miles.

 Nice weather in Yorkshire does not mean hot, it means sunshine and dry.

Bradford Town Hall.

It's been a while since we last came to Bradford, this pool was not there then it looks quite continental.

The Alhambra Theatre Bradford.

The entrance to Bradford interchange .

Rotherham the place to be.

 Yesterday there was an English Defense League rally down Rotherham, also an anti EDL rally the two parties have to be kept apart to prevent trouble breaking out.
The Policing was a little over the top but I suppose better safe than sorry.
Una was a big hit with the Police they were uncontrollable as usual, everyone takes to Una, one was insistent that she tried on his helmet.

 

 It was a real carnival atmosphere spoiled mainly by the lack of spectators Rotherham folk don't turn out when there's a demo going on they always air on caution. Honestly I've never felt safer down Rotherham usually you never see a Bobby only cardboard cut outs.

 The EDL marchers.

The EDL last of the patriots?????

The anti EDL group, luckily all bark and no bite.

Cataract Surgery.

No outwardly visible signs that anything has been done.

Had cataract surgery on my right eye yesterday. I am now seeing in HD it's marvelous I can't believe how much I could not see before. I really really hope the surgeon will do my other one in four weeks time, but if not in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
