Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Yesterday we had more light rain showers than was forecast but it was never what you would really call wet. By 20:00 it had cleared up and we had dry weather but overcast. There were clear spells during the night and first thing this morning it was calm, clear and mild. Since then we have picked up ...

Re: Seen in the News

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
Wood Cut of Bracewell Hall in Whitaker's 'History of Craven'. This was first published in 1805 and crude as it looks, this could be the most accurate depiction we have as it was almost certainly drawn originally from life.

Re: THE BRACEWELL STORY
THE EARLY BRACEWELLS IN BARLICK. (3) We’ve seen how the Bracewells got their family name and how the changes in society after the Black Death modified their view of themselves.

BARLICK LIFE 1900 ONWARDS(7) It’s 1932 and Ernie is 16 years old and weaving on four looms at Bancroft. In those days, before regulations were brought in which led to re-spacing of looms, there were 1100 looms in the weaving shed at Bancroft. They were crammed in as tight as they could get them. I a...

Yes Kev, but they have been listed on the NHS site though and that was when I booked.
Thanks for the heads-up about the pop-up clinic on the Co-op car park Kev. I shall go there.

I went out to post a letter and get a big bottle of bleach from the C-op. I got carried away and have done most of my veggie shopping as well as my milk and cheese. Very pleased with the Co-op's prices which is a change!
