Lost and found

 About a month ago I lost the quad bike keys. This is not unusual and they always turn up a week later. Despite a week passing and checking everywhere for them they did not turn up. Well they did turn up but not in this valley but the neighboring valley of Garsdale. I must have left them on my car roof and they only fell off after 10 miles ? Even more unbelievably someone found them and posted a photo on a fb community page where my wife recognized them.

Last weekend I managed to lose my phone while cooking some dinner beside a canal, so I decided to post this on another community page and yes, someone had found it and posted it back to me. Losing things is becoming common for me now. I cant keep my concentration on minor things whilst doing something I enjoy. 

So here is to the power of community pages then. They are great for when you need help, but not so good to argue on...lol Ive learnt that lesson. People are narrow minded, sentimental, ignorant and deluded, especially people who have moved here. Debate is not common now online locally. Just smile and pretend all is thriving in our " beautiful valley ". Of course people have financially invested in this image and panic if you suggest things maybe  otherwise.
