The group had an enjoyable day at Holmfirth

Upon arrival we spent ages looking for somewhere to enjoy lunch?

One venue charges £19 for fish and chips

We found a decent chippy called Holloway Fisheries which proved to be a good choice.

Fish Chips Bread and butter plus a pot of coffee was £5.75

On the way home we stopped by a sweet shop in Huddersfield.

 

We enjoyed an excellent meal at The Baum in Rochdale

This pub must rate as the best in Rochdale

 

Thanx for inviting me to join the Blog

20 July 2017 – Trip to Rochdale

We made our way by train and tram and met up in Rochdale town centre. The trip included a meal at The Baum – really excellent food – and a visit to the Rochdale Pioneers Museum and the Touchstones Art Gallery and Museum.

At the Rochdale Pioneers Museum, a short walk from The Baum, we enjoyed films narrated by Mr Cholmondley-Warner. We also enjoyed some short films about Gracie Fields in the Touchstones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The day was finished off with a refreshing drink in the cafe at the Touchstones, although we didn’t approve of the misplaced apostrophe in the sign about “Tip’s”.

   

 

 

13 July 2017 – Yorkshire Sculpture Park

We had another great day out at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, although a lot of walking was involved.

          

The picture on the left is looking a bit “peaky”, but we enjoyed walking around looking at the new sculptures and even got time for a bit of tree hugging and feeding a family of ducks.

Although we took a taxi to the Park we discovered there was a bus back to the centre of Wakefield. Unfortunately, Chris lost his tickets and the Lost Property Office was closed. We hope they are found and returned to him.
