Just a reminder that this sunday (7 May) being the first Sunday in
May is Gunthwaite Spaw Sunday.Gunthwaite is betwen Penistone
and Upper Denby in West Yorkshie;it never reaaly took off as a
spa,but it is still considered lucky to drink tje water on this
Sunday.People come from Pensitone and otjer villages in the
area,along with local rambling groups and duly drink tyhe water
inspite of a notice from Barnsley Met.Councilthat it is unsafe to
drink.Thurlstone Band play beside the adjacent millpond (2-
4p.m.ish)and there is a caravan or van selling tea and
homemadecakes in aid of band funds;I gather the band has been
attending for over 40years.\\A pleasent way of spending the
afternon if the weather is good;and the wood is usually full of
bluebellsat R
