Went to Pontefract Castle today. We were originally in South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and ended up in West Yorkshire.
It was a beautiful day.
Found an ancient litter bin 😉

In 2024 Yorkshire caught up with me again.

Are they still busking in ? They were always fantastic.

Streaming service summary with the cover of the single "Yes You Can" by the "Glass Caves", showing two people in white suits with their backs to us, standing in a mainly red rocky landscape, looking at a night sky with stars and a crescent planet (Earth?) rising over the horizon. Despite the sky being dark, the figures and landscape look like in daylight.

The song was the person's top song in 2024 and they were apparently in the top 0.01% of the band's listeners.

My final beer of my #friday #session was the @FivePointsBrew #ipa

A nice strong IPA to finish my Friday session. Quite punchy.

Enjoyed at the #RobinHood in #pontefract

2024-02-24

My second beer was the #special #mild from @kirkstallbrew - again at the #robinhood in #pontefract

Not a bad pint. Can’t say it’s something I’d have regularly, but it was nice for a change. Malty and coffee on the nose. Decent.

First beer of my Friday night was the wonderful #virtuous by @kirkstallbrew

Sharp and refreshing. Definitely my go-to pint after a hard week at work.

The #RobinHood at #Pontefract is the perfect bolt-hole!

My first beer on this #fundayfriday is my most favouritist of favourite beers, the wonderful #virtuous from @kirkstallbrew

So, so refreshing and moorish.

Far, better than the stuff that claims to oil your neck.

A bit late, but here goes anyway. My first #beer of a long-awaited #FRIDAY was the fine #XPA #pale #ale by @FivePointsBrew - poured carefully at the #robinhood inn, #pontefract

A pretty decent thirst quencher!

In the late 70s / early 80s I worked in retail management. I managed the CRS Fashion Footwear store in Pontefract for one assignment for about a year. During my time there the Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, visited. We dressed the Windows in patriotic fashion along with the whole precinct.
