Thank you all so much for your kind words and genuine care for myself and Sam, happening only 18 months after her Mum passed seems so cruel, and yet in the midst of life. the Sigur Ros was played as we entered church, the place where we worship, and the video of them performing in Abbey Road Studios was projected onto the screen, so right, as it seems he was singing for her. The service was beautiful for a beautiful person and the church was full, you never know how deeply so many people love you until a sad time like this. Her favourite band, The Cure, played her to her resting

I’m pleased about this news and hope everyone gets behind him and he’s given the chance to make Forest great again. I knew him when he arrived in Nottingham as a very shy Irish teenager!

Martin O'Neill to become new Forest manager?

When 13 at Berridge I wrote an essay about the dark side of the moon. I imagined the other side of the moon to be hollow and that fierce moon monsters lived there. The exploring space ship from earth was attacked by these monsters but were thwarted by having salt thrown at them. Salt being poisonous to them. The teacher scoffed at my essay, saying that the laws of gravity deemed the moon to be solid. No little gold star for imaginative writing. Just a sort of 'don't be silly'. That was in 1951 and looking back, maybe the teacher was being a bit silly; not about gravity but about imagination.

I’m happy with the signing of Martin O’Neill. He’s served a long enough apprenticeship with smaller teams so should be up to the job now. The key will be to see how he controls the players in the dressing room, as by all accounts that’s where the trouble has mainly been for the previous managers. If he did indeed learn from the master, he will know what needs doing.

Only when they are texting, otherwise they drive on the right side of the road...LOL

Only problem with driving in the US is everyone drives on the wrong side of the road.

Did you go to Knebworth? It's the Stones! Mick didn't go to LSE for nowt..

We had cause to visit Nottm today, but 'Alas' due to ill relations we had to abandon todays house visits at last minute. So not to waste the day, we dropped son and partner at Wollaton Park, for 4hrs and we drove around enjoying the scenery . Lovely views around Woodborough. Firstly we drove to Stoke Bardolph and enjoyed our sandwiches by the river, in the car park opposite 'The Ferry Boat''. Took the opportunity to get this shot of a Cormarant on the opposite shore, showing off its wing span, which isn't massive but impressive and usefull. At least it wasn't munching a gigantic Eel, as the la

Oh yes, human rights. We didn't have those in our day, did we? I can see us now, complaining to Manning Staff about our human rights. We'd have spent the rest of our school careers under the Dome!
