I was due to visit the West Highlands of Scotland (Glen Nevis) but cancelled and probably won't bother booking next year either.

Both Ripon and Thirsk are on my doorstep.

We will be staying in the Boot Room at Studley Royal for 3 nights next week.

Sounds grand to me...hopefully the deer rut will still be at play?

Will give my Lhasa Apso something to bark at. She was fascinated by the deer when we stayed in July.

Thanks Boris, that’s our mini-break to Studley Royal down the drain.

I managed an afternoon out at Fountains Abbey last week...I guess trips out during the next month will be very few and far between now!

I guess that will stop crowds at lower league football now :(

Yep unless they play the match in aisle 7 at Sainsburys.....

Sutton Common Rovers v Redhill yesterday. Hopefully i can squeeze a couple more in before weeks of boredom kick in.

Very much my attitude, with season ticket duty on Wednesday no doubt seeing my final game for some time, after about 25 non league matches during lockdown hiatus. With surgery scheduled for December putting me out of commission until next February, I had an impressive diary of intended games scheduled, until going under the knife, too. Walton and Hersham v Peacehaven and Telscombe (at the impressive new sports hub)  in the "and" derby :unsure: on Friday and Maldon and Tiptree v Kingstonian in Trophy yesterday being 2 new grounds for me, although only being able to buy a takeaway container at the Maldon micropub, as unbelievably real ale sample trays do not constitute a substantial meal.  In whose language ? ;)

Forlorn hope that there may be some ice speedway when I am mobile again.

Did Walton And Hersham do a printed prog. I was at Casuals a few days earlier. They did a very limited print run. That was also my first visit to their new ground.

Good luck...the Wetherby Whaler takes some beating! Last time I was there Michael Parkinson was sat at the next table!

Giant Haddock, chips and mushy peas...a supper fit for a king.

Over 50 years ago my wife to be was in a cafe in London. Kenneth Williams was at a table across from her and kept pulling funny faces and making silly noises at her. Very strange man.

Yes, they did a programme at (deep breath) £3 for 24 pages, but sold out shortly after I got mine, around 25 minutes before kick off. Seemed to have done a lot too, but had their biggest crowd since moving to the Hub. Unsure if it will be regular hard copy production, but I'd seen it advertised on their Twitter during the day. They had been doing on line only last season and earlier this, but the format didn't seem to print off correctly in booklet format. On line only at Maldon (and Cheshunt the week before) so other half printing them off for  me at her work today. :)

I need to get my missus to do similar via Microsoft publisher. I've only had to print Banstead and Carshalton so far this season. Luckily the rest have been hard copys.
