Pannal and life

Cannot get rid of the north east wind and when it is not windy one breathes a sigh of relief and then it rains. Have now been told by "they who know" that it will continue like this until mid/end June. But and there is always a but perhaps they are wrong.  On the surface life in Pannal continues but controversy is never far away. Sandy Bank Quarry will it be closed off from the fields that one walks across to Almsford Bank? Police Training College on Yew Tree Lane closing down and housing, a large number, being built there. What does this mean in traffic terms for both Yew Tree Lane and Pannal/Burn Bridge? Concrete Batching Plant at Dunlopillo site many lorries annoying residents at the top of the village. Looking forward to one joyful occasion - Her Majesty the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. There will be an exhibition of Pannal memorabilia on display in St Robert's church. I am providing a number of items and also putting photographs bunting in the notice board near the church. We have four children and they are coming up this weekend with partners and grandchildren to celebrate Susan, James and Charlotte's birthdays. Should be great fun as we are hiring a boat on the Skipton canal. I finish this blog as I started by saying hope the weather improves.
