Wakefield…

Over the weekend Stuart and I went up to a wedding in glitzy(?) Wakefield. 

Great wedding, great to catch up with friends, but my goodness Wakefield is an eye-opener. 

Pretty empty. Closed shops everywhere. Deserted station. We were the only people in our hotel. Pubs seemed empty too and closed early on a Saturday night. 

Very different from the last time I was there. Ok, 38 years ago.
