Harrogate Stray

Harrogate Stray

So common sense has prevailed in Harrogate. Cyclists will soon be allowed to use a number of footpaths across this extensive area of grass that encompasses a good part of the town centre.

Some thanks must go to the Cyclists Touring Club for their high profile campaign

Good move.

Standing in the Long Now

Greenbelt – Greenbelt 09: Standing in the Long Now

Confused by the title for this blog post? It’s the theme for Greenbelt 2009. The quote’s taken from Brian Eno “… all round interesting thinker”. It’s about taking a longer view in contrast to the “do it now” culture in which many of us live. There’s even a foundation dedicated to it.

So now is the time to book for Greenbelt – described as as the most family friendly festival of rthe summer – a place for everyone to explore life more deeply.  Despite the theme for the festival – there are discounts for doing it NOW!
