Just for Jacki

"I still think those folks at Holmfirth are a great bunch and very funny. This is a fictional town right?"

Holmfirth and Upperthong are very real and quite solid to the touch. I often think that Upperthong is a bit too real, on account of the fact that the hill up to it is far too steep and I usually end up walking up the thing once a day.

For those of you not living in the UK, Holmfirth has been made popular by a BBC comedy called "Last of the Summer Wine", which is about a lot of old men and women getting up to mischief. It's run since 1973, and it's occasionally funny.



Holmfirth itself is a rather pretty village set in a green valley which is surrounded by open moorland. It's a beautiful place to be, if a little quiet for those who prefer a more cosmopolitan lifestyle.
