Thanks for including my memories of South Yorkshire childhoods, and of the brilliant film, Kes, in your round-up, John. Glad you enjoyed it. I can see you're no longer in Yorkshire! Where abouts in Barnsley did you grow up? When did you leave?
Coincidentally, I'm a friend of a friend of Dai (David) Bradley, who played Billy Casper in Kes, so will pass on the link to this post. The film still has a firm following. It is such a classic.
The weekend scoop, I think I’m going to enjoy this weekly post. Thank you for the mention & featuring one of my posts 🧡
Patagonia sounds amazing, I’ve always wanted to travel that far south & then hop on a boat to Antarctica!
A hidden gem we discovered back in 2020 is the Catlins in NZ South Island - fell totally in love.
Sadly the news about Al Fayed being a sexual predator didn’t surprise me, I really that by coming forward it gives his victims some semblance of closure.

I grew up in Elsecar. All my family are there, dotted around Elsecar, Birdwell and Hoyland. Dai lives near Hoyland I believe?
Really close to where I grew up, John. Your name sounds familiar, though I’m sure you’re younger than me. Did you go to Kirk Balk?
Dai lives in Barnsley.
Yep, Kirk Balk 91-93
Subscribed, so I'll msg you to continue this convo! Thanks, John!
