The house bitter brewed by Kirkstall for Weetwood Hall Hotel.

I've stayed here before and it's a good bar.

Just wait, my love. We've barely scratched the surface of the glories of Yorkshire cuisine.

@scarlettaddams.bsky.social is very impressed with the Yorkshire-sized HP Sauce bottle. (Pint of Kirkstall for scale).

Maybe ask @captnamy.bsky.social?

S: doesn't "rover" mean wandering around aimlessly?

We have wonderful memories of the morning of your wedding, the afternoon at KSC, the evening pizza party, and the following day when the four of us hung out together.

It was a lovely, lovely trip.

I met my wife almost 14 years ago. We dated most of that time. We moved in together almost 8 years ago. She transitioned almost 7 years ago, and we got married 6 1/2 years ago. She has never been happier, and I'm so thrilled to be along for the ride next to her. It's never too late.

Itโ€™s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Donโ€™t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.
