Today on my walks I ended up in the village of Addingham. A small prosperous place with a shop, several pubs and plenty of traditional cottages and posh new housing estates.
Cottages with what looks like a traditional telephone box.
But it is in fact one of the new free libraries that are springing up. Where you can take a book and leave your own books
The village church of course.
One of the people I spoke with.
Parks and cottages.
On the way home on this humid day, I took a bus which was full of people and it stank like a public toilet.
Today we had almost uninterrupted sunshine so I visited Skipton.
The parish church looks small
But inside we have a café, public toilets, a shop , a children play area and the traditional stained glass windows.
Nearby we have a castle.
The front entrance.
I went on a two hour hike along the canal and through the woods behind the castle.
Finally a typical English pub on a Friday afternoon.
Greetings! This is me, upvoting your good self again, and posting in June at a Quarter-Past-Nine... (Aaargh, the light!!... )
I said before that it would be nice if NAS turned your photos into a calender (to raise funds), but no-one said anything about that...
Also, please keep going again. This Thread is probably like a "Television Programme" within the midst of "Radio Broadcasts".... i.e. Pictures as well as just commentary. Hopefully anyone knows what I mean, there.
(I cannot afford a camera or to travel outside of London, so all of this to myself is AWESOME.)
...That was a quick reply (!), be aware that I am not good at "live" chat, though...
Thank You for replying, Sir. I spend more than £5 just upon travelling from A to B in London. Also in London, the central areas charge about 200% the prices of the same item (in the same store) than in outskirts. It is known as "Tourist Prices"...
But this Thread is not for talking about such things, surely. I always mean what I say, and so this Thread is fer-lipping brilliant, like a breath of fresh air, here, is what I primarily say. I am very glad to see here people doing what I cannot (yet?)... I am not rich either, yet "one day" we may all be...?
I'm not rich. I try to save money by travelling cheap. And not everything is rosy.
Some places I visit are so awful that I'm grateful to leave and go home.
Today I spent £4.90 on a unlimited countywide bus travel ticket.
£2.50 on lunch ( 2 chicken legs from Morrison's).
In Skipton it was market day and since the town is prosperous. The market is overpriced compared to shops back home.
