Not strictly Ilkley, but just up the road. According to the new Wisden, Shane Warne’s last match in England (assuming he stays fit) will be for Hampshire vs Yorkshire at Headingley, Sep 19-22. As Engel puts it, something to tell the grand-children about.
A better than usual article by Victor Keegan on why we’re becoming surveillance obsessed. If Eric Blair hadn’t changed his name, the graffito at Ilkley station would be even more apt.
Very proud of the way my fellow-countrymen have reacted today. And kudos to Nosemonkey and Tim Worstall for their blogging. The Yorkshire Ranter was in the middle of it. Nick Barlow has a response to those ‘merkins preaching revenge (never mind we know not on whom we should be casting our revenge). And Andrew has an eloquent message for those responsible.
When you don’t post? Used to be on the second or third page for google searches on ‘Ilkley’.
Currently, I’m not on the top fifteen pages. Fame is fleeting, webfame doubly so.
An, contrary to my previous post, it isn’t on to Europe, it’s back to Yorkshire for Yorkshire in Bloom next year.
Don’t let the effort drop though!
we’ve been liking Ludlow… beautiful place, fantastic food. No pictures of the food though.. ate it all.
my god this weather’s so cold… it’s cosy and all, but where do you get the energy to do anything?
Me going to hibernate… so tired, so confused… shoes or boots? shoes or boots… rain or shine, god bless 5star.
well christmas wasn’t what it was supposed to be, but it was a lovely one anyway. beautiful things, people and times. back to the smelly grey of the city centre, away from the fresh air and the stunning sights… memories…
