A recuperation walk along the canal on a beautiful morning……….

Ah, those racist and xenophobic British……….well perhaps not!
A trucker who raised nearly £200,000 for relatives of the driver killed in the Berlin Christmas market attack is to be thanked by the Polish ambassador at a ceremony in London. Dave Duncan, from Otley, set up a crowdfunding campaign to … Continue reading
