A row of shops in #Slaithwaite is celebrating its centenary this year and I've joined a group to pull together a timeline & oral histories of people who've shopped/worked there over the last century.

As part of that, on Monday, we got to dig into the archives at the Colne Valley Museum. We found some images of the shops from the 1950s, but I was more excited about finding a pic of our house from 1977 and a series documenting the building of the M62, inc my fave bridge.

A photo of a black and white photo, in an off white mount. The framed picture is of a massive arched bridge under construction, its concrete arch held up with an unbelievable amount of scaffolding. There are various cranes visible too. It looks like an awful lot of work to make the bridge. The image is captioned "Bridge over M62" and is from the late 1960s.

For my tea ... pasta, with broccoli steamed over it. Onion, garlic and #courgette fried in sesame oil; add minced bird eye chili, sliced mushrooms, tomato, roughly chopped #watercress, a small chopped #PickledLemon, some green peppercorns, a splash of soy sauce. Mix everything together, stir through smoked #feta cheese and #pear slices. Nom. Eat while watching #Huddersfield vs #Warrington #RugbyLeague. For pud ... chocolate #digestives and a pot of #LapsangSouchong #tea. #AccidentalVegetarianism

Every other year, our village (#Slaithwaite) has a community event called Moonraking.

Once upon a time, local smugglers used the canal to hide their stash - and when they were caught trying to haul it out again, they pretend to be simpletons, raking the moon out of the water. (This may not be 100% true.)

I'm volunteering at some of the public lantern making workshops later this month, so spent the day yesterday working on my own creation to remind myself of the tricks. Fun!

A close up of the part of a sphere made from rings of bent willow, held in place with masking tape. It's a bit of a bodge frankly, but the covering will hide all the mess.
