Hello Fester

Thanks for the welcome.

Truth be told I was born in Carlton a tiny farming village that was nearer Wakefield than Leeds (but no one willingly admits to coming from 'Wakey' though do they?) But I spent most of the last 30 years in Leeds.

One of the things I miss most from Yorkshire is the lovely Salts's Mill up the road from Bradford in Saltaire, rarely a month went by without a visit there.

I agree with your opinion of Whitby, I'd exhausted it's potential within the first month. The best thing was the Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay walk, but the 'town' (more like big village) seems to be little more than tea rooms, chip shops, charity shops and PUBS (way too many for such a small place). Bit 'lively' on a weekend too with Stag/Hen do's from the North East.

Had a nice day here today, took a walk to Colwyn Bay and back. I'm doing Conwy tomorrow weather permitting. I have a list of about twenty walks I intend doing (list is increasing all the time) the walking here is amazing I'm in my element.

Need to get better accommodation though (very 'laddish' place I'm in at the moment) so if you know anyone nice who is after a lodger please let me know.

Regards

BUFF

Buff,  I can guarantee that the weather will be fine for your walks this weekend.  $good$

Wakefield??  Embarrassing??............. why do you think I got out of Bradford!!

One great thing about Whitby, it had the best fresh seafood and shellfish I have ever had.

Mmmmmm Crab!  $dins$ $dins$

Hello Buff,  welcome to the forum.

From Leeds eh?.......Most here are very friendly, apart from me... because I'm from Bradford!   $angry1$    :laugh: :laugh:

Whitby is very nice, but gets boring after a while.

Hello new members :) Buff...was just wondering what's the chicken thing about or have I missed something? It's just that when I saw your name I recognized it as a breed of chicken (the only one I know and I know not much else about chickens except how to cook 'em) and then noticed the avatar pic. Just curious  :)
P.S. Oh yeah I know Bantams too!

Hello Sam

Thanks for the welcome.

No great thought behind Buff Orpington, the name amused me and I've had it as a username on a couple of forums I've been on it always evokes comments. This one on Checkhookboxing is a favourite of mine:



Everyone loves a bit of Buff.

Stumbled across this site because I saw a bloke with a monkey in a pram, spandau ballet on his CD player, walking down the road by the cross keys. Went home to Liverpool, googled it and this forum popped up! Joined, lurked for a while and now me and Paula are back here for the airshow in The Arvon, thought I'd say hello. Lovin that fella with the monkey by the way! Dave R, boss photos mate, paula is convinced that's me and her on the pier in the rain. She wants to buy a copy mate if that's possible and get it framed. Hope we might meet a couple of you lot over the weekend. Nice one, Alan and Paula. X
