Otley...

Despite some misgivings that the unseasonably warm weather should be a cause of concern, the good people of Otley are responding positively. The butcher shouted hello as I passed his shop, as did a gardener weeding a flower-bed and a woman on a zebra crossing. I got no cheery salutation from the Jehovah’s Witnesses standing outside the Kingdom Hall with their rack of pamphlets, but then I didn’t expect one, since, according to their beliefs, a non-believer like me is going to hell in a handcart.
