A very exciting sky for a Saturday. In fact a Saturday that I am not working a double shift. It was commented on! Why was I not doing it? Well I thought last week when left for five hours with a forgotton break being totally ignored by the teenager manager....why am I doing this? And not coming up with a reason of any kind ....good or bad i simply declined the first shift.......then we went out on a dog walky and then Pudsey.
Yes the sky was very dramatic. Possible rain but it is hard to tell......a possible definate something coming our way.
The grave yard traffic was a lot of live humans in cars and i spottted a movement amongst the stones. I have glasses just for using the computer so
not much use for spotting figures dressed on black in a shadowy grave yard. Fortunately he revealed himself early enough for us to take a different path back to the Fonz car.
It is Armistice day. I discovered this on passing the cemotaph at Pudsey. Afew old war graves I have noted on thr way around. A few from the Somme 1916. The Battle of the Somme.Lasted five months with over a million deaths. I notice the carved stones on the way around along woth a Colonel Bland. Bland is the family name from my fathers side.
As there was so much activity in the old graveyard we headed very quickly back to the Fonz car.
"Put lots of quicks under those paws!" i told Monza as we bounced along.
Pudsey! We used to live in Pudsey! Just on Beaumont square in a tiny stone cottage which i rammed all my posessions from a five bedroom house in Cornwall. This also spread to fathers house and garden. When his wife moved in all that got smashed or dumped. Father just forgot he gave permission.
Fist. The church. A very very big one it is. It was locked. Always is and was every time i have tried to go inside. Therefore i never have.
Pudsey is an old market town with a huge church from the 1800s just by Bradford. Pudsey bear was first invented here too. There is a park just next to the church that we did not go to this visit.....any way there is a pudsy bear made from wire and bushes grown into and trimmed as Pudsey bear. Just next to pets corner and a vicorian indoor gardens full of palm treees and parrots and so forth. We walked Casper dog here as he came with me from Cornwall. I think he liked this park it was a little like cornwall when the sun was out.
We walked around the church and looked at the sones on the way through to the charity shops.
The light was still bright sun and freezing shadows....
Lee lived in Pudsey before he met me. Firstly as a boarder to his friend who he rented a room from
And got meals cooked as well. She got married in this church.
A great big affair with twelve bridesmaids and massive train trailing behind a beaded embroidered creation in silk. Made by her mother who luckily was a couturior.
Eighteen she was. The wedding cost thousands of her fathers money stash. He was a cash guy and his stash was kept in a drawer with secret catch to make it pop out of its secret place. It turned out not to have been that secret as she stole most of it over the years.
Any way she got married in this church. Father bought her a small house with his stash after her husband killed himself. Lee was one of her remnants she collected renting out. Refused to work and remortgaged...borrowed then had to sell the house to pay it all back.
Lee then moved to a shared house further into the old town.
This is where i found him. This here is the old town complete with pub the worlds end.
The charity shops did not have anything good though i did get some christmas disney toys for the tree....
These pictures are on the wall by the park....
We quickly bought lunch and back to the car and Monza waiting. We ate our chocolate eclairs on the way home.
I only did three hours at work today. Much better Saturday arrangement!!!!
Yeadon lights at 5pm start.
