You’re welcome, Mr Grove. My wife and I moved to Yorkshire after I retired. The main reason for that was to be closer to the kids. And it is less expensive here than in the south of England - especially in London.
besoeker ha mr grove. nice your nearer the kids. mine are grown and scattered so i just poke the forum after cereal most evenings. london expensive i can beleive
Yorkshire is famous for its tea.
Here is one of our ex Prime Ministers busy with a teapot.

Was Rishi about to spout?
Looks like he was well stocked up for COVID! ![]()
One from Hyde Park? ![]()
Looks more like Doncaster!
The Dales maybe. Foxy would know.
The hills just above Bradford, I understand many quaint little Yorkshire towns are now producing tea…Much to the displeasure of the locals… ![]()
Although, it’s nice to see that Yorkshire is once again expanding its industrial engineering facilities. Is that a new Hornby train in the background? ![]()

Haven’t you heard of the North Yorks Moors Railway Dex, they just acquired some new rolling stock…Cheap…

Hi Mr Grove. The wedding is my dear wife’s grandson in Georgia. We had them here for a couple of weeks in July and I think they enjoyed it. Actually, we had the whole gang here. Then we our friends from Georgia - my wife and her friend have been best friends for decades. For the husband it was a new experience and he was quite impressed with Edinburgh. If you have the opportunity to do so. Me, my daughter, and her husband all got our degrees there. Next month we have yet another visitor - my niece and her husband from Canada. It’s been a busy year. Enough blethering…
