The blue dot is where you were?
Sowerby Bridge being a mill town, a water supply came in handy.
Did you see the prisoner of war camp, near the railway station.

SW gales forecast for this afternoon so boats are on amber. Tomorrow looks worse with stronger northerly gales. Definitely not trike weather so far as I am concerned.
I think on previous experience that Friday is usually a better day with less traffic to bother me but 48mph north wind is just a bit much.
Another dump run this morning instead. Forty years stuff to sort out and dispose of as much as I can bear to. It feels like I am winding my life down. Very depressing.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
As today is a crappy day we have decided to go to Iceland (the shop).

I had a wander to the Co-op for a few things too.
Wonder if I could manage a walk before the rain arrives.

I understand your feelings.
We have been in this house for 39 years and have the accumalated "stuff" as evidence.
Until 2 years ago I thought we would live forever the life gave us a swift kick up the arse and now we have to think about downsizing etc.
You old romantic youAs today is a crappy day we have decided to go to Iceland (the shop).
Well I can't....its hammering down here.

Oh crap... blood test... I must have dozed off again!!!! 
[Jumps to feet...]
Hang on, er, I have already been out and had my test. Oh, I dozed off after getting back - ha ha!
The good news is that my post second-Covid-jab reaction is now limited to a very small mark on my arm and the most minor of aches in the muscle.
The bad news is that it seems to have scuppered my blood test results again, just like the first time. Interesting...!
), I was helping EVERYONE ELSE to get an idea of where you are/were! 
Yes, the climbs up from Sowerby Bridge are pretty steep! I have done Norland Road a few times from the back of the railway station - that was hard... I went to watch the Leeds Classic race go up there in the mid-1990s. I got there about an hour before the peloton and grovelled my way up to find a good vantage point. There were already hundreds of fans there and they cheered me all the way up. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

I wasn't trying to tell YOU where you are (I assumed that you had already worked that out...

I know. don't tell everyone though.
What a nightmare most roads leading Into Newtown were closed for god knows what roadworks. Had to go all round the Wrekin just to get into town. All the other drivers were just as confused as I was I think
