I thought about visiting Pontefract a couple of months ago but the only thing I know about the place is Pontefract cakes and, while I'm quite partial to licorice, it didn't seem like enough of a reason to visit.

I think it might be on the edge of the Rhubarb Triangle.

Well that was a horrid journey down to Heathrow just over 2 hours with lots of traffic stop starting.

Coming back via north circular and up the M1 was much easier and just under the 2 hours.

Loads of wazacks in BMW and Audi's as normal

Or the castle?

One of many prisoners to be held in the castle was Richard II who was starved to death. What makes it even worse was he held in a cell which was above the bake house. So could sell fresh bread every day.

I didn't want to mention that, just in case it frightened him.

Lovely supper of beetroot soup, then baked sea bass, a jacket potato, salad and braised red cabbage. And the last of the festive crumble for afters. With cream of course.

Now it's time for a and MOTD

Oh, and I had to replace the bulb in the sitting room ceiling light fixture earlier.

Doing a bit of sorting out while making the hot chocolate - does anybody want to swap the mini Bountys and Snickers from a pack of Celebrations for their coffee creams?

Don't have any coffee creams. Or selection tins.

With or without a safety net!
