Back in time for Bargain Hunt

Blowy out there now with rain blowing through too. I have one of these salt lamps on the table beside me that’s on all the time. It’s flickered a couple of times. Maybe a power cut soon. Think I’ll stick the jacket on and have a wander soon.

This place was overlooked by the advent of the 21st century. I've had several minutes of phone and Internet for the last 7 days. Orange finally sent a man to tinker with the cable from the pole. So confident was he on completion of the work that he left me his number to ring if it went down again.
Difficult to phone someone when your phone don't work. So I have my 2 Mbs connection back and am able to watch YouTube vids at 720p with just occasional buffering. I really don't miss the fibre connection I used in blighty, honestly

Just outside Holmfirth - Last of the Summer Wine country - there is a village called Upperthong. Cheered me up no end on a long, wet day on a tour of the Pennine Cycleway.

There's also a Netherthong and Thongsbridge.

I've got to the chapter where it explains why there's a black hole in @Drago 's Y Fronts.
Clever chap that Stephen Hawking.
