I was suppin' me tea
When it came to me
What a miracle is life
When ye' strip away t'strife

I weeded me plot
Mind, it wasn't so hot
But seeds'r a sprouting
Don't need no shoutin'

From those tiny grains
And a fair share o'rains
Comes all that I need
For a right good feed

For #ThrowbackThursday it's back to this day in 2010 when we watched our very first Rugby League match in person. This was at Wakefield where we'd actually gone up to see Bradford play but ending up liking the city and people and area so much that we changed team allegiances afterwards, and this despite Wakey getting soundly beaten.

Dalton Mills, Keighley. A beautiful abandoned Victorian textile mill in West Yorkshire. I had the privilege of exploring and documenting this historical place a few years ago. Sadly, a huge fire destroyed it in 2022.

A senior couple in #Halfax #Yorkshire got 8 weeks #jail for #RacialAbuse and #violence against a Fillipino healthcare (they also tried to set a poodle (!) on the worker, and the man punched a bystander who intervened)

I could tell the pinay was in UK legally and had been here a while, she speaks with a slight Yorkshire accent

I’m back on my sewing machine! Making zip cases in teeny tiny batches (literally only one of each) from a luxuriously thick and durable cotton fabric.

I'll be debuting these at the Ceramics, Homeware and Art Market at Left Bank Leeds this Easter Monday 🌟

I correctly identified the accents of these two as from #Yorkshire - the older man and the lad (they are father and son) are from #Wakefield

to be fair he can't be blamed for sometimes missing the bucket, especially using that 1970s style pit where he has to hold the bucket at an awkward angle and remove the sump plug (at least on that #car its vertical exit for oil rather than horizontal like many others)

when I did my first oil change on my previous VW Polo I spent several hours afterwards swabbing the concrete in the yard, having underestimated how far oil spurts out after removing the sump plug
