Yes trogg and I'm coming as well,, to sit with you on your Patio to watch em,,

That quote really upset me, I'm coming with Phil we'll get that bleddy grass cut & I'm also a dab hand at deep digging, chin up youth X

My admiration goes to all but especially Paul and Trogg, for 'keeping on keeping on..' As for boredom though. I'm never bored. I'm usually happy enough with my own company and if I have nothing physical to do I can be happy listening to music or whatever. I try to achieve one useful thing every day. Might be as small as tidying summat up, or cutting the grass, or whatever. The rest of the time I potter, or go for a short walk, or whatever. Incidentally I'm seeing the Doc tomorrow about why my legs seem to be failing me. Still awaiting tests for the other stuff. And Trogg.. I

I missed business too Phil, even though I had lots to do with cycling, fishing and renovating a cottage. Anyway, to keep my mind active I started a Ltd company on my 80th birthday last year. I'm really enjoying the R&D work and preparing to get products ready to sell. Only a tiny business but who knows?

When development was first revealed the name Poplar Heights was being used. Approx 350 homes 93 of which will be Nottm City Homes for rent Plus a total of 170 other homes in local developments. Are all the new kids going to be schooled at home, cause there won't be any land left to build them new schools.

Wouldn't touch a flu shot with a ten foot pole. They can stick it where the sun don't shine. Everybody I knew who had one got sicker than a dog. I was offered one today when I called in to renew a prescription. It was a robot so I was not polite to it. Hope it's chips get fried.!

I think your right Ben its a special area to thousands of people, I went to Whipple but not Padstow but I can remember all the playing fields and other areas around there and I would be a shame if it all disappeared into the rest of the area without anything to remember what was there before. What about Padstow fields. Just think of all the thousands that went through those doors and lifetime friends formed, or in some cases relationships started.lol

It had to happen in the Nottingham Post is news that they are going to build 350 houses on the Padstow site. I just hope they keep the row of iconic Poplar trees that seemed to have been there all my life and seen from miles around.

Huh! mine are for funeral plans...

I must be getting old. I've just had a text message offering my first ever option of having a flu jab.

I only do ride-ons. I would be there solely in an advisory capacity.

Trogg you have my admiration for keeping on keeping on as you do. One point though. you are almost bionic now so next time round ask them to fit you with a throttle so you can keep up! Simples

Hope you manage to find one Beekay, unfortunately I had had no luck (just as I thought). We visited a farm shop who had painted some green with ears of corn others with cows and chickens.
