Halifax West Yorkshire.
We are always out and about, doing this and that, see the sights passing time. We are very lucky coming from South Yorkshire we get free train travel after 9-30am. The rest of the country, along with us get free bus travel for the over sixties. We can travel between Sheffield, Huddersfield, Leeds and Doncaster on the train and don't we make it crack. We absolutely love South and West Yorkshire, they are the most beautiful place in England. The people are the friendliest and very very modest. The photos are inside and outside Halifax Town Hall, a day out we had 1st June. We got a conducted tour round the building by last years Lord Mayor. I did not know it at the time, hence no photo with him and Una, perhaps next time.

Work place
This is the mill where I worked for 41 years, age 15 years to 56 then I retired. Hopefully long term employment will come back. The mill closed 5 years after I left. OK it was a long time in
one place but it gave me a living and fed the family.

How I came across your blog.
Purely by accident! I have a couple of friends that originate from California, they now live in Washington DC. I have always had a fascination with the western states and they are my entry into your blog world. The pair in the picture below are the ones I am on about, I use their blog to gain access to the US of A. It all started with the fire in California at the back end of last year.Knowing his mother and father live there, I natural asked if they were OK. The answer was yes, but unfortunately his uncle Chucks home had burned down. This put a new light on things for me, now the fire on the TV news was real. I actually felt that I knew someone who had lost their home, if only through Patrick. Anyway that was all that was said. So as I was drifting from blog to blog, I noticed the Flake Family Fire on Kims blog and wondered if that was Chucks. On that blog at one point there were fifteen posts, I thought this must be a popular bloke, so I read on. Clicking on the posts one at a time I eventually got on to your blog. It was the removal of Landons screw that took my eye, it reminded me of me and my dad. I had to take the stitches out of his forehead after he came off his motorbike at the age of seventy five. He feared nothing only hospitals, and would not go back for his stitches out.

Memory Lane.
I walked four miles down this road with two strangers, and walked back with two friends. They are my connection with the Western States of America.
