Monday 25th May 2015, 4.05pm (day 1,369)
Clearing up after the Bank Holiday crowd. Saturday’s walk notwithstanding, it has not been the most eventful eight days, but there’ll be a burst of activity from tomorrow.

Riverside walkway
Sunday 30th November 2014, 10.50am (day 1,193)
St. Andrew’s Day, and a beautiful morning. This is the walkway down by the Hebden Water in town. I like the lines of the building, the trees in the background and the random arrangement of café paraphernalia waiting to see if any customers realised it was quite warm enough to sit outside despite it being the last day of November.
Serving hatch, Manchester airport café
Wednesday 24th September 2014, 9.30am (day 1,126)
I’m travelling again; rest of this week I’m working in Norway. But because it’s Bergen (the City of Perpetual Rain) it was throwing it down on arrival, so here’s one from the journey. Rim-light is always worth trying to capture but my attention was also caught by the crates at the top which looked to my eye like a piano keyboard.
Asleep in the cafe, Liverpool Lime Street station
Saturday 2nd August 2014, 11.05am (day 1,073)
This is also how I felt this morning after our night out in Liverpool. I hope this woman didn’t miss her train — she was asleep in the cafe at the railway station for some time.
Café Mooch, lunchtime
Friday 16th May 2014, 12 noon (day 995)
It’s nice to travel, but it’s just as nice to come home. This is another of Hebden Bridge’s nice cafés, a good spot for a working lunch, which I had today. Been a good week.
Salem centre café
Wednesday 7th May 2014, 1.15pm (day 986)
One of the cheaper places to have lunch in the centre of Hebden Bridge. Which is what I did, today, while a rather cold and unpleasant day unfolded outside.
Expect to see more of these
Monday 5th May 2014, 10.55am (day 984)
The first two days of the Tour de France pass through Yorkshire this year, and on Sunday 6th July the race goes right past my front door, literally. The associated publicity campaign has already begun, with a noticeable increase in the number of bicycles to be seen on any given public holiday — as today was. There will be more, I am sure.
Outside ‘Innovation’
Friday 14th March 2014, 3.30pm (day 932)
The signboard puts me in mind that these two are Withnail and I on their 40-year reunion trip, returning to where they demanded cake, and fine wine, the finest wines available to humanity.
Hebden Bridge station café
Thursday 23rd January 2014, 7.25am (as you can see) (day 882)
This place is a godsend early in the morning, and rarely empty. I’m not normally round this corner, but for once I had my cup of tea sat down at the tables inside instead of on the train. Earliest shot for a while, since late November in fact (and only the fourth shot before 7.30 in the last 12 months). It’s still dark outside at this time.
Contact Theatre café
Thursday 21st November 2013, 12.45pm (day 819)
A second day beset by more Russians than is considered the usual amount; and two awful train journeys, particularly the one going home. This oasis stands reasonbly close to my office and I’m surprised it’s never featured on the blog before day 819, to be honest.
And no, I couldn’t say exactly what he’s doing. Occam’s Razor suggests ‘eating’, but what, I don’t know.
