The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire has died aged 94. She was at Chatsworth I believe, and was she also at Bolton Abbey. I understand she was a ardent fan of Elvis Presley with a large collection of his records. And she was the last of the Mitford sisters.

You might well be right about that Stanley. The weather forcaster on TV said "nothing unusual at the moment". Very damp and drizzely tonight, mist on the hills, but very muggy.

36 hours off line - wow that takes the biscuilt. I have known websites to be off for 6-12 hours, but never so long. Maybe compensation comes to mind ?

Hahaha good one David - what more can I say

Heavy showers this evening over in Nelson, but seems a bit dryer now. Milder temperatures tonight I would think. Better day tomorrow, hopefully. But it certainly is strange weather for late September

Just been to "Facebook" for several days, maybe it was longer. Sorry, but couldn't think of anywhere else only Nelson town centre, which is rather boring. Its a bit like One Guy From Barlick on the old socialising networking thingy Facebook these days. Anyway have come back to here for a b...

The thundery weather being experienced in the country at the moment seems to be difficult to pinpoint exactly, as I notice the Beeb weather forcasters keep changing their charts every few hours. They had storms moving from the south overnight (tonight) moving in a more or less straight line, now whe...

Pennine bus garage on Broughton Road, Skipton.

Well folks here it is the final day and the final few hours before Pennine buses of Skipton and Gargrave ceases to be. :sad: I understand 19 drivers will lose their jobs after today, and the famous Orange and Black buses will disappear from our roads. The famous buses that are Dennis Dart Plaxton Po...

This, sadly, says it all http://www.pennine-bus.co.uk/

Stanley, by the looks of things, ie "your head" you don't need a shave. I remember going into our local barber's shop when I was nowt but a kid. A bald headed bloke came in. The barber looked at the chap and said "how much do you want taking of," the bald chap said "oh just ...

Well said David. Yes, I know you have worked hard over the years and got things done. I expect things will get sorted out, in one way or another, after Pennine have gone. I do feel sorry for those bus drvers, though. Lets hope they can get driving for other companies. Maybe Transdev will take on som...

So maybe we should "not" blame Transdev too much, although they do run buses in the same areas as Pennine and on the same routes, apart from to Gargrave and Settle. Who, then, will take over these routes that Pennine leave behind - maybe Transdev, D& G, or another small company called ...

With the sad demise of Pennine buses of Skipton & Gargrave, what do OGFB members think of this great loss of this well-respected local bus company which began back in the 1920s. Do you think Transdev B & P have too much power over other smaller bus companies and are pushing them out of the t...

I have been over to Barlick today and visited my favourite cafe - the one on the square! The well-known Mr Mitchell came in to the cafe after finishing his long stint on his market stall. One or two other familiar faces popped in for refreshments. Also browsed around the Pendle Hospice charity shop ...

Very shocked to hear about the sudden death of Bob Crow, general secretary of the RMT union, at the age of 52. He stood up to the employers and helped his union members in many an industrial battle since 2002. It will be very difficult indeed to find someone else like Bob. RIP Bob Crow.

Funny weather here in Nelson today, hail showers in the afternoon, rainy and windy during the evening, then heavy showers for late evening and winds easing down. Very topsy turvey weather. Better for tomorrow, then wet and windy again on Sunday. Is the jet stream moving back again, I wonder? :surpri...

Had afternoon tea at Foulridge yesterday, a nice tidy and very clean cafe called The Pendle Cauldron with nice, friendly staff ! They had some nice cakes on display too.

Yes, I have also heard that said by the weather forcasters, both yesterday and today. They say that the weather will not be as bad next week, less stormy, but still some rain about, though not as heavy, and a bit milder by Tuesday. I will believe "it" when I see it.

Stanley my glass is rising at 28.9 or 978 m bars. Not sure whether mine's a bit dodgy!!

Ahh, so is a "board" a cabinet - one of those things with doors on out in the street with all wires inside it and bits and bobs ??

Sounds great afternoon tea Sue and up near Owd Betts, a place I remember so well. Have not, as yet, been to Healey Dell but I believe it's an interesting place. I remember Wolstenholme quite well, Black Pits chimney, and Norden. Must have another visit there soon.

Hello Whyperion missed your earlier comment. Well I am still breathing - just about - though this bad weather doesn't help much. Been over to Timbuckto (hope I spelt it correctly) out in Africa somewhere. Only joking. No, I have been on my various blogs and website, then had trouble getting back ont...

There was some bad weather conditions in Nelson early to late afternoon with rain, hail and sleet, combined with a colder, blustery wind. Dryer this evening, but more rough, possibly Wintry weather for tomorrow and next week. Batten down the hatches.

I would like to live in Bamford near Rochdale, then I could go and chat with Sue
