Drove back from Wales yesterday, returning to West Yorkshire the most dramatic way: climbing up to the top of Holme Moss and getting that fantastic panorama of the Holme Valley. Kipped in Slaithwaite last night, by the canal; is there any other place name that can be pronounced three different ways? 'Slaith' can rhyme with 'say' or 'sat', and most locals compress all those consonants into 'Slowit'. I'll be in Hebden Bridge this evening, hoping to see a few friendly faces in the Fox and Goose...
