National Media Museum Bradford

The only reason to go to Bradford was to visit the national media museum. Zippy & George from Rainbow were exhibited. I assume that they were the original puppets- the caption didn't actually say as much. The museum was interesting but not as good as I had imagined a "national" museum would be (I won't go into the boring details of what I didn't like). But it did have two very good exhibits, one showing the work of Don McCullin, an English photographer and the other on animals and the media, which was much better than it sounds. I escaped from Bradford and went to Malham in the Yorkshire Dales. On the way I detoured to Holmfirth, the village where the tv series Last of the Summer Wine is set. I arrived too late to do very much but I had a bit of a wander around. It is very attractive in a "lots of quaint stone buildings built on the sides of a steep valley" way. It was a lot bigger than I had imagined and with a lot more traffic. Now for the great outdoors in the Yorkshire Dales.
