I've tried the Silver King, Jeff - not a bad drink at all. Not familiar with White Rat, but I'll have to look out for it. The farm shop we visit each week, near Huddersfield, stock a wide range of beers and ales from Yorkshire breweries. Gradually working through them (well, isn't that what loyalty cards are for?

Also a fan of the Landlord.

Heck - if it's alcohol how can you not be?

Not been to Bolster Moor. We go to Blacker Hall, just the Huddersfield side of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. We only found it by accident after going to a place at Emily Moor a few times, only to turn up on a Sunday to find it closed - so continuing on and finding Blacker Hall. Never looked back since.

Have a good anniversary, Jeff - enjoy the steak!

Too true, Jeff. Same here, to both sentences above

Playing in snow as a youngster when it came up to the top of your wellingtons and a snowman could be guaranteed to hang around for a couple of weeks!

If all you've had is a (southern) smattering then it's presumably just needed 30 minutes of sunshine.

The forecast at 6:30 tonight suggested up to 5cms more for us overnight
