The place I was sat outside of, and the view.
I even didn't mind the dogs on the next table. I even felt bad for tormenting them with the smell of my burger - they were so well behaved. I sat here for the best part of an hour, intermittently reading and watching the world go by. I felt at peace and it was wonderful. It was lovely inside too, very open and airy, but there was an open fire. That plus the sun coming in through the windows would have been too soporific for me. I'm also not secure enough in my sobriety to sit in a bar for a long period of free time. Nice place though, I would heartily recommend it.

I don't know if this bridge is THE bridge of Hebden Bridge. But it's a central one, and the ducks are very smug and well-fed. I didn't have my duck food with me, but they may have been spoiled by artisan bread over the years.

Typical dwellings close to the centre.
Rather beautiful I thought.

See right near the top of the hill on the righthand photo - that's roundabout where Jan and J lived when they were in Heb.

All the photos are taken from my phone btw.
My little, cheap phone. I will find my camera one day. When my broken mind is more healed. A bank which has stayed a bank. Unusual these days. Lots of cashpoints in Hebden. Well, even dirty hippies have to make a living. Actually I found it all reasonably priced and fun for window shopping. But then I've been to Camden Lock.

One of the reasons I had to visit ASAP was reading a recent Peter Robinson book. I like Inspector Banks, and Mum and I started reading them when I lived in Aylesbury just because the author has the same name as my Dad. Now I find myself living in the vicinity of Eastvale (fictional North Yorkshire town where his books are set).
The one I read recquired Banks to visit Hebden Bridge and it reminded me that Dana had spoken of it too. I forgot that J had lived there Dani. It's a great place. After I wore out my looking eyes (and walked off my meat-drunk) I called Peter and he picked me up and drove me to his house in Sowerby Bridge. No photos of that, but I was invited to dinner - which I had to decline - and also have an open invite to go back any time and partake of the sofabed. An offer I intend to take up in the Summer. So, Dana, when we gonna do the Yorkshire Sculpture Park?

I enjoy your travel pics in England very much.
You seem to find the places that are not just ferris wheels and government buildings that Merkins seem to like. In your post 360, I liked that you assured us of your EtOH-free drink. But it was the tray that carried that beer that got more of my attention. It fit my image of an "old England forest" where a ancient tree grew, was hewn, and eventually the last part was turned into a serving tray. So please don't tell me it wasn't wood, but was some modern plastic. I'm really glad things are going well for you... |

I'm going on holiday!
Well, I'm staying in a hotel in Leeds because I got a good deal. And I get to dye my hair in a decent well-lit place AND walk around nekkid and all that and everything. Photos will follow. Not of nekkidness. Soz.

Thanks for the other compliments folks. It's easier to find things to photograph here than it is to get them uploaded!
