The Archeytypal "Postie Day Off"

24 hours late mate !!!

Sunday morn - Mrs S not feeling so bright (sneezy, fluish etc etc - still not perfick as I type this on the Tuesday !!). A morning of tidying up (laptop and house ... in THAT order !!), before cabin fever set in.  I'd seen something on Facebook about Saddleworth CC's last home game - so I headed down - to find if I had read the Facebook post proper like, I'd have known it was on the Saturday ...

Hey ho - I went for a wander ... some pics at

Saddleworth Rangers v Myton Warriors

 Myton Warriors on the charge ...

... yes we're in the football season ... but when everything conspires - you take the best option.  Finished work in good time to get the train home (plan was Droylsden v Lancaster in the FA Cup) ... but then it all went pear-shaped.  Train from Greenfield was 36 minutes late .. so no chance of getting to the Butchers Arms.

However ... with the trains terminating at Stalybridge and then turning straight round - I got to Mossley, dashed up home, quick change, grab (prepared) camera bag, dash back down to station - and catch train I've just come in on - result !

Missed start of game - noticed Jackie (Saddleworth Rangers "official" snapper) so decided to do the "wrong end" ... and here they are ...

It's not been the greatest of seasons for Saddleworth ...

Mossley v Prescot Cables 19Sep15

Mitch Bryant leads the charge ...

It's all going Pete Tong for the Lilywhites at the moment - after starting the season 5 matches unbeaten (all competitions), they've now lost five in a row (all competitions) - aargh !

Mossley 0 Prescot Cables 1

Being honest ... they're not playing badly - just not getting the rub of the green - especially yesterday when they found Prescot 'keeper Marcus Burgess in excellent form.  Early days yet - but it's a slide that needs reversing - sharpish !

Getting Lost Over Bleaklow 06Sep15

 The weird and wonderful shapes of Bleaklow Stones ...

Something to do on a Sunday !!  Following a walk found in a book - but failing to fully read said walk ... ended up being reduced to getting the GPS out of the rucksack to get back to the car - all good fun ... Pics at
