Merry Christmas and welcome to Shipley

Last year's effort dropped its needles and had most of the lights stolen within a week. I'm not sure this is an improvement.

Birthday Bath

I have one of these each year on my birthday whether I need one or not. This year I took the plunge at White Wells, the famous Ilkley Moor landmark.

Curiously my friends had all "forgotten" their swimming costumes. Odd that!

The water temperature was "invigorating" and I may find I have other things to do on New Years day.

Thanks to Andy Hamilton for making me appear photogenic.
