Delph, Uppermill and Grains Bar

It being hot, very hot, what better way to escape than to the hills?  A lesson in looking at what's on your own doorstep,  we took in the views of Saddleworth, Delph (where they've apparently been serving fish and chips since 1769, now there's history for you), Uppermill and finally stopped off in Grains Bar on the hilltop above Oldham, on the cusp of West Yorkshire, to quench our now considerable thirst, where wafts of warm grass and clover scents were coming across the beer garden and some dramatic skies floated above to remind us of last night's cracking Summer thunder storm.
