Guy bought himself some new jeans and t-shirts and sportswear he looked real cool in his new denims wish I was his age again he has it all in front of him and doesn’t realise what potential he has to do anything he wants if he only puts his heart and soul in to it .

The kitchen chimney breast has been open up to take a range cooker had a oak beam walled in to support the brickwork above the opening the existing bricks don’t look that bad we are going to clean them up and leave them exposed for now at a later date we might plaster board and tile out the back and side walls .

Went on a speed awareness course Thursday I was caught on camera whilst Helen was in Egypt doing 36 in a 30 mile an hour zone , I had the chance of going on this course and not having three points put on my driving license, which has to be worth it at the end of the day .So attending a four hour course was worth it in the end the course was very informative and showed the ways to identify speed limits and correct road awareness.

Saturday

Went to Saddleworth moor I have only ever past it via the M62 this time went through Holmfirth than on to the A635 stopped at Lockwood at the Lockwood pub and had hot baguette sandwiches’ and a half a pint , carried on to saddleworth when we saw the reservoirs from the road side finally manage to get directions and parked up at the car park we walked up past Dovestone reservoir and Yoeman hey reservoir and then up to Greenfield reservoir , I always thought the moors around saddle worth to be bleak and dreary almost baron and desolate there is loads of magnificent fir trees and waterways , raven stones rock formation and wildlife. It was raining constantly and it didn’t seem to matter neither did we seem to be getting that soaked we should have took water with us and something to eat must have spent a good three hours walking and hiking .

Sunday

Went back to Saddleworth moors this time took Guy with us before going we stopped off at Tesco and bought sarnies , mars bars , crisps , and bottled water .also bought some hot bacon and sausage sarnies to eat before we set off . parked at dovestone reservoir and did the same route as we did the day before covering the same three reservoirs we also climbed some of the Raven Stone rocks , we was trying to locate and find Adam’s cross the going got to strenuous , today also we went Wessenden Reservoir just off the A635 and covered even more miles , was very similar terrain as before and we could have easily spent more time here but it was getting late and didn’t want to be walking across the moors in the dark , also we didn’t have any hiking gear not even a rucksack we was carrying everything in a Tesco carrier bag not ideal for a day’s trekking over valley and hill. Finished the day back in Holmfirth eating fish and chips at Compos From “ Last Of The Summer Wine” fish shop we ate them outside .
