But the Hull, Hell and Halifax thing is to do with the forms of punishment given for petty crimes in previous centuries. I'll come back to that in another post.<br />Probably not quite settled yet but happy to be here.Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079263854400471326.post-57414142927204462282017-08-04T15:52:26.488+01:002017-08-04T15:52:26.488+01:00Hi Lucy!

I've never heard the phrase Hull, Hell and Halifax before - which is odd because I grew up in Scunthorpe just across the river from Hull and we always try to have a laugh at their expense (although to be fair Hull does have it's nice points too!)<br />I've always really liked the photos I've seen of Halifax and I like that Halifax and the surrounding area is being shown more on TV these days.<br />I do hope that you're happy and settled.

Because it's all so different from what I'm used to, I'm feeling like an explorer reporting back to base!<br /><br />Countryside Tales - yes, extremely interesting and on-the-brink-ish. Although Manchester is further away than Leeds, some commute times are the same (about 40mins). There are trains which goes to London in three hours with no changes (and others which take longer). And Leeds is bidding for part of Channel 4 to relocate there. Positioned as it is, Halifax (poised between Leeds and Manchester) with a council that wants to promote the arts, it could become THE place to be and that you'll all want to come and join me. (Or it could all turn out to be a bubble which will burst and sink.) But whatever happens I'll have an allotment on a fantastic site with no waiting list!Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079263854400471326.post-14639685496042868582017-08-03T17:34:18.578+01:002017-08-03T17:34:18.578+01:00It sounds an interesting time in an interestingly ...It sounds an interesting time in an interestingly different place.
