Anne and Geoff: 45th Anniversary & Ann's 65th Birthday

We had a wonderful weekend with Ann, Geoff and their family to celebrate a double occasion. They were married 45 years ago and Ann is 65 on the same day. Oh yes and it was Father's Day.

Rhys at the Valsper Club End Of Season Awards.

Rhys joined the Valspar Football Club last year so this was our first end of season awards night.

I did not realise how big the club is. All ages from 6 to 16.  This year was the 40th anniversary of the founding of the club. Craig Brown was the quest speaker.

This is new of me so here is video with Rhys getting his medallion. He is the one in the black shorts.

Rhys and his Leavers 2016 Hoodie

10 Days in Darlington, Leeds, Bradford and Saltaire!

The break started in Darlington. For sometime I have been interested in the state of independent shops on our high streets.  Darlington has a number on North Road.

I spend a while taking to Steve outside his pet shop. He found it tough keeping his business afloat but believed that it was worth the effort. It helped him have a purpose in life and kept him away from destructive aspects of his previous way of living.

Next to Leeds and its old shopping arcades:

Finally to Saltaire. A World Heritage Site which is the home of the David Hockney galleries. One building on the site. The rest is available for business usage.

The trip to Bradford was for the National Media Museum for the Alex Soth exhibition. Spread over 2 of its galleries.

Weekend Visit

Ethan with Helen and Andrew paid a flying visit this weekend again. We had pancakes for brunch.
