Sunday in Halifax

A nice day - our daughter came over and took Roma to Church and then we visited a new [ renovated ] Public House Restaurant for Lunch. Named Crossroads and situated on the hills above our town with nice long views over the Pennine Moors.

It is owned by the famous Yorkshire Brewery Timothy Taylors of Keighley and has been completely renovated and has 6 ensuite bedrooms and a nice Bar & Restaurant.

Food was Sunday Lunch Carvery type, I had Lamb and the Yorkshire Puddings were very good and not soggy ! Excellent choice of Vegetables and Puds - I had a Yorkshire Rhubarb Crumble type.

The Manager was born in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe as was our daughter when I was working at the Kariba D am.

He appears to be an expert on Wines from South Africa and runs a company to import them, so again a good selection.

Then after lunch I went to support Halifax Rugby League Club at The Shay Stadium, in the new East Stand - our team had a tough match against Barrow, but our defence was very good and the result was a win 46 - 24 for Halifax
