Haven't had anything to write about due to sitting in the house with work infront of me and a pot on my foot.
But today had been booked off as holiday, as it's my birthday. The original plan had been Berwick, as we've never been, but that was no good as I can't walk.... so we went to Salts Mill, Saltaire (near Bradford).
It was a good day out. They lent us a wheelchair to wheel me about it (couldn't have managed otherwise); good grub; classy shopping; Hockney artwork; will go again.
It used to be a weaving etc. mill, built by titus salt who also built the village forhis workers (victorian philanthropy); it was then bought out by drummonds and then by Illingworth Morris who closed it in 1986. It was bought by a chap called Jonathan Silver in the late 80's or something (he sadly died in 1997 aged 47) and it has Hockneys as he knew Hockney in their respective youth in Bradford.
And we came back over the tops to pateley bridge and then down to ripon where we stopped for a drink.
a good day.

Happy birthday for yesterday. Nice to see that you managed to celebrate it with an enjoyable day out.
The day sounds great. Many Happy Returns... 21? :)
I was so sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you get some good signatures on the pot and look after yourself!
Both Me and Andrea send you hugs!
no sigs on the pot at all - it's blue and they don't make them of plaster or paris anymore - it's more like vetwrap dunked in some sort of quick setting starch stuff ....
